AT VANGUARD, WE BELIEVE THAT TRADITION MATTERS

Our 9,000 crew members  embrace the  traditional  values on which our success is
built,  including integrity,  hard work, thrift,  teamwork,  and fair dealing on
behalf of our clients.

Our report cover pays homage to three anniversaries,  each of great significance
to The Vanguard Group:

o    The 200th  anniversary of the Battle of the Nile, which commenced on August
     1, 1798. HMS VANGUARD,  the victorious British flagship at the Nile, is our
     namesake.  And its motto-- "Leading the way"--serves as a guiding principle
     for our company.

o    The 100th  birthday,  on July 23,  1998,  of Walter L.  Morgan,  founder of
     Wellington  Fund, the oldest member of what became The Vanguard Group.  Mr.
     Morgan was friend and mentor to Vanguard  founder John C. Bogle, and helped
     to shape the standards and business principles that Mr. Bogle laid down for
     Vanguard  at its  beginning  nearly 25 years  ago:  a stress  on  balanced,
     diversified  investments;  insistence  on  fair  dealing  and  candor  with
     clients; and a focus on long-term investing. To our great regret, Mr.
     Morgan died on September 2, 1998.

o    The 70th  anniversary,  on  December  28,  1998,  of the  incorporation  of
     Vanguard  Wellington  Fund. It is the nation's oldest balanced mutual fund,
     and one of only a handful  of funds  created in the 1920s that are still in
     operation.

Although Vanguard constantly tackles new challenges,  adopts new technology, and
develops new services,  we treasure the  traditions and values that set us apart
in a  crowded,  competitive  industry.  And we salute  our  shareholders,  whose
support and trust we strive to earn each and every day.

Large-capitalization stocks again led the U.S. stock market higher during the
six months ended June 30, 1999, buoyed by strong economic growth and stabilizing
overseas markets. In this environment, Vanguard Institutional Index Fund
returned +12.4% for the first half of its fiscal year, matching the return of
the S&P 500 Index--which, of course, your fund tracks--and topping the +11.0%
return of the average general equity fund.
     The adjacent table compares the fund's six-month total return (capital
change plus reinvested dividends) with the returns of the S&P 500 Index and the
average general equity mutual fund. The performance of the fund's Institutional
Plus shares, which are available for a minimum investment of $200 million, is
presented at the bottom of the table. The fund's return is based on an increase
in net asset value from $112.85 per share on December 31, 1998, to $125.60 per
share on June 30, 1999, and is adjusted for distributions of $0.73 per share
paid from net investment income and a distribution of $0.42 per share paid from
net realized capital gains. (For the Institutional Plus shares, the
distributions were $0.748 and $0.42, respectively.)

THE PERIOD IN REVIEW
The key influences on financial markets during the first half of 1999 were the
surprising strength of the U.S. economy's long-running expansion, promising
corporate earnings, and the increasing signs that a number of shaky foreign
economies were on firmer footing. These factors were partly responsible for both
broad-based gains in U.S. stocks and increases in interest rates, which sent
bond prices lower.
     The overall U.S. stock market, as measured by the Wilshire 5000 Equity
Index, gained +11.8%--equivalent to more than a full year's return based on
historical norms. But the half-year saw a sharp rotation in market leadership.
As the outlook for global economic growth kept improving, there was a notable
revival in cyclical stocks--commodity-related companies, machinery makers, and
other firms whose profit prospects are most closely tied to the economy's ups
and downs. This was a welcome change for cyclicals and other "value" stocks,
which had lagged the market not just in the first quarter but for much of the
last five years.
     Within the S&P 500 Index, the value stocks--those generally
characterized by above-average dividend yields and below-average price/earnings
ratios--carried the day during the second quarter. For the first half of the
year, they gained +14.0% versus a gain of +11.0% for growth stocks. Many
industrial companies posted spectacular returns during the quarter, in stark
contrast to their lagging performance during the first quarter. For example,
aluminum maker Alcoa gained +50% from the end of March until June 30.
     For bond investors, a surging economy has a dark side: the possibility
that prices and wages will rise and push up inflation, which diminishes the
buying power of future bond interest and principal payments. Interest rates held
steady in January, but rose throughout

                                       1
<PAGE>

the rest of the half-year. And on the final day of the period, the Federal
Reserve Board hiked its target for short-term interest rates by 0.25% amid
concerns about higher inflation. The yield of the benchmark 30-year Treasury
bond increased 86 basis points (0.86 percentage point) on balance during the six
months, rising from 5.10% to 5.96%. The rate rise was less pronounced for
short-term securities, with the 3-month Treasury bill's yield rising 33 basis
points, from 4.45% on December 31 to 4.78% on June 30.

PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW
The performance of Vanguard Institutional Index Fund during the half-year was
excellent, both on an absolute basis and relative to our comparative benchmarks.
Our +12.4% return matched that of the S&P 500 Index, and was 1.4 percentage
points ahead of the return of the average general equity mutual fund. Our
advantage over the average fund can be attributed partly to the strong
performance of large companies, which dominate the index and led the market
despite the second-quarter resurgence of mid- and small-cap shares. The index
was powered by technology stocks, which make up 17% of its assets and returned
+24% for the half-year. Strong contributions also came from the "other energy"
sector (up +40% thanks to higher oil prices), producer durables (+26%), and
materials & processing stocks (+25%). Meanwhile, health-care issues and consumer
staples (large consumer-product companies) lagged, posting negative returns for
the period.
     Our fund's achievement in matching the return of its index benchmark is
noteworthy because, unlike a mutual fund, an index incurs no operating costs.
That the fund overcame this disadvantage is a credit to our tiny expense ratio
(just 0.03% for the six months and 0.06% on an annual basis), as well as to the
expertise of Vanguard Core Management Group, which oversees the investments for
all Vanguard stock index funds. Our Institutional Plus shares, with their
minuscule annual expense ratio of 0.025%, also provided a +12.4% return for the
half-year.
     While our excellent absolute performance is surely welcome, returns on
the order of +12% for a six-month period are well above what should be expected
from any investment. We believe that investors who understand the cyclical
nature of the financial markets will be best prepared for the inevitable period
when stock returns revert to their (much lower) long-term historical norms. For
its part, Vanguard Institutional Index Fund will continue to provide investors
with an excellent way to capture the returns of the large-cap stock market--at
one of the lowest costs in the mutual fund industry.

IN SUMMARY
Sticking with a portfolio diversified across various asset classes and market
segments can be trying at times, particularly when one segment runs ahead of the
others and seems to be "the only game in town." But in the long run, investors
are well served by investment programs constructed with the knowledge that
market leadership can change abruptly and unpredictably. So once you've decided
on an investment plan suited to your time horizon, goals, and tolerance for
risk, we urge you to stay the course.

NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS
In the past, the quarterly income dividends that Vanguard Institutional Index
Fund distributed to shareholders were paid at a "set rate." Income the fund
earned during the first three quarters that was in excess of the set rate was
distributed in the December income dividend. In June 1999, the fund began
distributing income on a "pay as you go" basis, rather than according to a set
rate. This policy change provides for a more even distribution of income by
distributing substantially all of the income earned during each quarter to the
fund's shareholders at the end of the quarter. As a result, the fund's June
dividend of $0.43 per share ($0.44 per share for Institutional Plus) included
about $0.03 of residual income that remained in the fund after the March
dividend.

THE MARKETS IN PERSPECTIVE
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999

[PHOTO]

A markedly improved global economic outlook during the first half of 1999 led to
mostly positive stock market returns and lower bond prices.
     As the year began, many observers expected that severe economic crises
in Asia, Russia, and some Latin American nations would restrain business
activity worldwide, even in the United States, which has been the world's
economic locomotive. By spring, however, a consensus emerged that global
economic activity was likely to be solid, if not robust. This change in
sentiment stemmed from several factors, including further vigorous growth in the
U.S. economy, a belief that Asia's slump had bottomed out, and moves in Europe
to ease monetary policy to encourage growth.
     Interest rates rose as investors stopped wondering whether the Federal
Reserve Board would lower interest rates--as it had three times in autumn
1998--and began to wonder when the Fed would increase rates to slow growth and
thereby forestall inflation. Indeed, on the final day of the period, the Fed
boosted short-term rates by 0.25 percentage point. In the stock market, the
brighter economic outlook led to a change in leadership from glamorous
large-capitalization growth stocks to value stocks and small-cap stocks, both of
which had been among Wall Street's wallflowers in recent years.

U.S. STOCK MARKETS
The rise in stock prices reflected the healthy domestic economy and improving
prospects for corporate earnings. The overall market, as measured by the
Wilshire 5000 Index, rose 11.8% during the period, while the S&P 500 Index, a
yardstick for large-cap stocks, gained 12.4%.
     Large-cap growth stocks, which are generally perceived as less
vulnerable than other stocks to economic slowdowns, continued to lead the
market's climb during the first quarter of the year. During the second quarter,
however, value stocks--especially producers of commodity products such as oil,
aluminum, and chemicals--moved to the front of the pack. Providing support were
generally upbeat corporate profit reports. Indeed, earnings gains were
sufficient to send prices higher despite rising interest rates, which often
depress stock prices as well as bond prices. For the six months, the S&P 500
Index's value stocks posted a 14.0% return while its growth stocks gained 11.0%
as a group.

                                       4

<PAGE>

     Small-cap stocks, as measured by the Russell 2000 Index, gained 9.3%,
although that fact masks a remarkable turnaround: Small-caps declined 5.4%
during the first quarter of 1999, then advanced 15.6% during the second quarter.
Even so, the cumulative return of the Russell 2000 over the past three years
lags the S&P 500 Index by nearly 80 percentage points (+37.6% for the Russell
2000 versus +115.2% for the S&P 500).
     Four of the top-performing sectors within the S&P 500 Index during the
half-year were solidly in the value camp--the "other energy" group (+40%);
producer durables (+26%); materials & processing (+25%); and integrated-oils
(+17%). The strongest growth-oriented sector was the irrepressible technology
group (+24%). The poor performance of the consumer staples sector (-8%) was due
in part to the gains of the U.S. dollar against most foreign currencies, which
reduced the value of earnings from overseas operations.

U.S. BOND MARKETS
The powerful economic expansion that buoyed corporate profits and stock prices
was too much of a good thing for the bond market. Inflation was well
behaved--consumer prices rose 1.4% for the six months and 2.0% for the twelve
months ended June 30--but investors and Fed policymakers clearly were concerned
that an overheated economy might yet trigger significant increases in wages and
overall prices. Certainly, there was no evidence of the "natural slowing" that
many analysts expected for the economy, which is in the longest peacetime
expansion ever.
     Yields on U.S. Treasury bonds rose by approximately 1 percentage
point--a significant rise for a six-month period. The yield of the 30-year
Treasury bond rose 86 basis points, to 5.96% on June 30 from 5.10% on December
31, 1998. The yield of the 10-year Treasury rose 113 basis points, to 5.78% from
4.65%. Money market rates didn't rise as far: Yields on 3-month T-bills
increased on balance by only 33 basis points, to 4.78% on June 30. Bond prices,
which move in the opposite direction from interest rates, fell. The Lehman
Aggregate Bond Index, a benchmark for investment-grade taxable bonds, declined
1.4% on a total-return basis, as bond prices declined an average of 4.4%,
outweighing the 3.0% in interest income for the period.

INTERNATIONAL STOCK MARKETS
Led by sharp recoveries in stock prices in Japan and many emerging markets,
international stock prices generated positive returns in local currencies during
the six months. However, a pervasive rise in the value of the U.S. dollar
against other currencies reduced returns for U.S. investors (returns from abroad
are augmented when the dollar falls in value against other currencies).
     Overall, the developed markets outside the United States gained 4.1% in
U.S.-dollar terms, as measured by the Morgan Stanley Capital International
Europe, Australasia, Far East (EAFE) Index. The biggest increases were in the
Pacific region--up 27.3% in local-currency terms and 21.1% when measured in U.S.
dollars. Europe, which accounts for the lion's share of EAFE's market
capitalization, was up 8.2% in local currencies. But in U.S. dollars, the return
from European stocks was a negative 2.3%, as weakness in European
currencies--notably in the euro, the new 11-nation common currency--lopped more
than 10 percentage points from the local-currency returns. The MSCI Select
Emerging Markets Free Index shot up 31.5% in dollar terms, led by Asian markets
that rebounded from severe losses suffered in 1997 and 1998.

BETA. A measure of the magnitude of a fund's past share-price fluctuations in
relation to the ups and downs of the overall market (or appropriate market
index). The market (or index) is assigned a beta of 1.00, so a fund with a beta
of 1.20 would have seen its share price rise or fall by 12% when the overall
market rose or fell by 10%.

CASH RESERVES. The percentage of a fund's net assets invested in "cash
equivalents"--highly liquid, short-term, interest-bearing securities. This
figure does not include cash invested in futures contracts to simulate stock
investment.

EARNINGS GROWTH RATE. The average annual rate of growth in earnings over the
past five years for the stocks now in a fund.

EXPENSE RATIO. The percentage of a fund's average net assets used to pay its
annual administrative and advisory expenses. These expenses directly reduce
returns to investors.

FOREIGN HOLDINGS. The percentage of a fund's equity assets represented by stocks
or American Depositary Receipts of companies based outside the United States.

INVESTMENT FOCUS. This grid indicates the focus of a fund in terms of two
attributes: market capitalization (large, medium, or small) and relative
valuation (growth, value, or a blend).

MEDIAN MARKET CAP. An indicator of the size of companies in which a fund
invests; the midpoint of market capitalization (market price x shares
outstanding) of a fund's stocks, weighted by the proportion of the fund's assets
invested in each stock. Stocks representing half of the fund's assets have
market capitalizations above the median, and the rest are below it.

NUMBER OF STOCKS. An indicator of diversification. The more stocks a fund holds,
the more diversified it is and the more likely to perform in line with the
overall stock market.

PRICE/BOOK RATIO. The share price of a stock divided by its net worth, or book
value, per share. For a fund, the weighted average price/book ratio of the
stocks it holds.

PRICE/EARNINGS RATIO. The ratio of a stock's current price to its per-share
earnings over the past year. For a fund, the weighted average P/E of the stocks
it holds. P/E is an indicator of market expectations about corporate prospects;
the higher the P/E, the greater the expectations for a company's future growth.

R-SQUARED. A measure of how much of a fund's past returns can be explained by
the returns from the overall market (or its benchmark index). If a fund's total
return were precisely synchronized with the overall market's return, its
R-squared would be 1.00. If a fund's returns bore no relationship to the
market's returns, its R-squared would be 0.

RETURN ON EQUITY. The annual average rate of return generated by a company
during the past five years for each dollar of shareholder's equity (net income
divided by shareholder's equity). For a fund, the weighted average return on
equity for the companies whose stocks it holds.

SECTOR DIVERSIFICATION. The percentages of a fund's common stocks that come from
each of the major industry groups that compose the stock market.

TEN LARGEST HOLDINGS. The percentage of net assets that a fund has invested in
its ten largest holdings. (The average for stock mutual funds is about 30%.) As
this percentage rises, a fund's returns are likely to be more volatile because
they are more dependent on the fortunes of a few companies.

TURNOVER RATE. An indication of trading activity during the period. Funds with
high turnover rates incur higher transaction costs and are more likely to
distribute capital gains (which are taxable to investors).

YIELD. A snapshot of a fund's income from interest and dividends. The yield,
expressed as a percentage of the fund's net asset value, is based on income
earned over the past 30 days and is annualized, or projected forward for the
coming year. The index yield is based on the current annualized rate of
dividends paid on stocks in the index.

PERFORMANCE SUMMARIES

All of the data on this page represent past performance, which cannot be used to
predict future returns that may be achieved by the fund. Note, too, that both
share price and return can fluctuate widely, so an investment in the fund could
lose money.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 1999 (UNAUDITED)

[PHOTO]

STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS
This Statement provides a detailed list of the fund's holdings, including each
security's market value on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are
grouped and subtotaled by asset type (common stocks, bonds, etc.), with the
fund's S&P 500 Index common stocks listed in descending market value order.
Other assets are added to, and liabilities are subtracted from, the value of
Total Investments to calculate the fund's Net Assets. Finally, Net Assets are
divided by the outstanding shares of the fund to arrive at its share price, or
Net Asset Value (NAV) Per Share.
     At the end of the Statement of Net Assets, you will find a table displaying
the composition of the fund's net assets. Because all income and any realized
gains must be distributed to shareholders each year, the bulk of net assets
consists of Paid in Capital (money invested by shareholders). The amounts shown
for Undistributed Net Investment Income and Accumulated Net Realized Gains
usually approximate the sums the fund had available to distribute to share-
holders as income dividends or capital gains as of the statement date, but may
differ because certain investments or transactions may be treated differently
for financial statement and tax purposes. Any Accumulated Net Realized Losses,
and any cumulative excess of distributions over net income or net realized
gains, will appear as negative balances. Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)
is the difference between the market value of the fund's investments and their
cost, and reflects the gains (losses) that would be realized if the fund were to
sell all of its investments at their statement-date values.

STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
This Statement shows dividend and interest income earned by the fund during the
reporting period, and details the operating expenses charged to each class of
its shares. These expenses directly reduce the amount of investment income
available to pay to shareholders as dividends. This Statement also shows any Net
Gain (Loss) realized on the sale of investments, and the increase or decrease in
the Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on investments during the period. If
the fund invested in futures contracts during the period, the results of these
investments are shown separately.

STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS
This Statement shows how the fund's total net assets changed during the two most
recent reporting periods. The Operations section summarizes information detailed
in the Statement of Operations. The amounts shown as Distributions to
shareholders from the fund's net income and capital gains may not match the
amounts shown in the Operations section, because distributions are determined on
a tax basis and may be made in a period different from the one in which the
income was earned or the gains were realized on the financial statements. The
Capital Share Transactions section shows the amount shareholders invested in the
fund, either by purchasing shares or by reinvesting distributions, as well as
the amounts redeemed. The corresponding numbers of Shares Issued and Redeemed
are shown at the end of the Statement.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
This table summarizes the fund's investment results and distributions to
shareholders on a per-share basis for each class of shares. It also presents the
Total Return and shows net investment income and expenses as percentages of
average net assets. These data will help you assess: the variability of the
fund's net income and total returns from year to year; the relative
contributions of net income and capital gains to the fund's total return; how
much it costs to operate the fund; and the extent to which the fund tends to
distribute capital gains. The table also shows the Portfolio Turnover Rate, a
measure of trading activity. A turnover rate of 100% means that the average
security is held in the fund for one year.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Vanguard Institutional Index Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940 as a diversified open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund
offers two classes of shares, Institutional Shares and Plus Shares. Plus Shares
are designed primarily for institutional investors that meet certain
administrative and servicing criteria and have a minimum investment of $200
million. Institutional Shares are offered to other institutional investors that
have a minimum investment of $10 million.

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted
accounting principles for mutual funds. The fund consistently follows such
policies in preparing its financial statements.
     1. Security Valuation: Equity securities are valued at the latest quoted
sales prices as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange
(generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on the valuation date; such securities not
traded on the valuation date are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and
asked prices. Prices are taken from the primary market in which each security
trades. Temporary cash investments acquired over 60 days to maturity are valued
using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which
considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings),
both as furnished by independent pricing services. Other temporary cash
investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued by
methods deemed by the Board of Trustees to represent fair value.
     2. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a
regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income.
Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial
statements.
     3. Repurchase Agreements: The fund, along with members of The Vanguard
Group, transfers uninvested cash balances into a Pooled Cash Account, which is
invested in repurchase agreements secured by U.S. government securities.
Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by a
custodian bank until the agreements mature. Each agreement requires that the
market value of the collateral be sufficient to cover payments of interest and
principal; however, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to
the agreement, retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.
     4. Futures: The fund uses S&P 500 Index futures contracts to a limited
extent, with the objectives of maintaining full exposure to the stock market,
enhancing returns, maintaining liquidity, and minimizing transaction costs. The
fund may purchase futures contracts to immediately invest incoming cash in the
market, or sell futures in response to cash outflows, thereby simulating a fully
invested position in the underlying index while maintaining a cash balance for
liquidity. The fund may seek to enhance returns by using futures contracts
instead of the underlying securities when futures are believed to be priced more
attractively than the underlying securities. The primary risks associated with
the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market
values of stocks held by the fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the
possibility of an illiquid market.
     Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The
aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the financial
statements. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the
Statement of Net Assets as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of
Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are
closed, when they are recorded as realized futures gains (losses).
     5. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ
from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting
purposes.
     6. Other: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Security
transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs
used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities
are those of the specific securities sold. Income, expenses

not attributable to a specific class, and realized and unrealized gains and
losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its
relative net assets.

B. The Vanguard Group provides investment advisory, corporate management,
administrative, marketing, and distribution services and pays for all other
operating expenses, except for taxes, in return for a fee calculated at an
annual percentage rate of the average net assets of the fund. For the six months
ended June 30, 1999, the annualized fees for such services were 0.06% and
0.025%, respectively, of average net assets for the Institutional and Plus
Shares of the fund, of which 0.04% and 0.005%, respectively, related to
class-specific shareholder services. The fund's Trustees and officers are also
Directors and officers of Vanguard.

C. During the six months ended June 30, 1999, the fund purchased $4,106,065,000
of investment securities and sold $1,869,747,000 of investment securities, other
than temporary cash investments.
     During the six months ended June 30, 1999, the fund realized $1,026,534,000
of net capital gains resulting from in-kind redemptions--in which shareholders
exchanged fund shares for securities held by the fund rather than for cash.
Because such gains are not taxable to the fund, and are not distributed to
shareholders, they have been reclassified from accumulated net realized gains to
paid in capital.

D. At June 30, 1999, net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for
financial reporting and federal income tax purposes was $13,644,727,000,
consisting of unrealized gains of $13,965,791,000 on securities that had risen
in value since their purchase and $321,064,000 in unrealized losses on
securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.
     At June 30, 1999, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts
expiring in September 1999 and the related unrealized appreciation were:

                          John C. Bogle, chose the name
                        after reading Nelson's inspiring
                      tribute to his fleet: "Nothing could
                          withstand the squadron . . .
                       with the judgment of the captains,
                      together with their valour, and that
                        of the officers and men of every
                  description, it was absolutely irresistible."
