About the cover: Nautical images have been part of Vanguard s rich heritage since its start in For an incoming ship, a lighthouse offers a beacon and safe path to shore. You can similarly depend on Vanguard to put you first and light the way as you strive to meet your financial goals. Our client focus and low costs, stemming from our unique ownership structure, assure that your interests are paramount.
3 CEO s Letter Dear Unitholder, As I begin my tenure as Vanguard s fourth chief executive, I ve been reflecting on both the past and the future of the company where I have spent my entire professional career. I feel extremely fortunate to have the chance to lead a company filled with people who come to work every day passionate about Vanguard s core purpose: to take a stand for all investors, to treat them fairly and to give them the best chance for investment success. Making a real difference When I joined Vanguard in 1991, I found a mission-driven team focused on improving lives helping people retire more comfortably, put their children through college and achieve financial security. I found a company with purpose in an industry ripe for improvement. It was clear, even early in my career, that the cards were stacked against most investors. Hidden fees, performancechasing and poor advice were relentlessly eroding investors dreams. We knew Vanguard could be different and, as a result, could make a real difference. Vanguard is built for Vanguard investors as a client-owned company, we focus solely on you, our fund shareholders. Everything we do is designed to give our clients the best chance for investment success. In my role as CEO, I intend to keep this priority front and center. We re proud of what we ve achieved, but we re even more excited about what s to come. As I write this, we ve experienced a period of pronounced market volatility. In the United States, for example, strong economic growth and budding signs of inflation have raised concerns about a more aggressive Federal Reserve. A pullback in US stocks quickly triggered similar sell-offs in Europe and Asia. In the UK that uncertainty was exacerbated by concerns about sluggish economic growth and the continuing Brexit negotiations. Although volatility can test investors nerves, we sometimes think of this as Vanguard weather a time when having a disciplined, low-cost and long-term approach to investment management serves investors well. Steady, time-tested guidance Our guidance for investors, as always, is to stay the course, tune out the hyperbolic headlines and focus on your goals and what you can control, such as costs and how much you save. This time-tested advice has served our clients well over the decades. Regardless of how the markets perform in the short term, I m incredibly optimistic about the future for our investors. We have a dedicated team serving you, and we will never stop striving to make Vanguard the best place for you to invest through our high-quality funds and services, investor education to help you meet your financial goals, and an experience that makes you feel good about entrusting us with your hard-earned savings. Thank you for your continued loyalty. Sincerely, Mortimer J. Buckley President and Chief Executive Officer The Vanguard Group, Inc. 26 March
4 Tracking Error The Trust seeks to replicate the Index by investing all, or substantially all, of its assets in the securities that make up the index, holding each in approximately the same proportion as its weighting in the index. Tracking error measures the volatility of the return difference between the Trust and the index. It is calculated as the standard deviation of the tracking difference between the Trust and the index (gross of fees for the trailing 36-month period, or since the Trust s inception if it does not have 36 months of performance history). Tracking error can result from various factors including transaction costs and any swing pricing adjustment as applied to the Trust. Please refer to the Commentary page for additional detail on the impact of the swing pricing adjustment to Trust performance. As at 31 January 2018 Ex-Post Trust Tracking Error Vanguard FSTE 100 Index Unit Trust The Trust was launched on 8 November
5 FTSE 100 Index Unit Trust Trust Profile As at 31 January 2018 Investment Objective Vanguard FTSE 100 Index Unit Trust seeks to track the performance of the FTSE 100 Index. Investment Strategy The Trust employs an indexing investment strategy designed to achieve a result consistent with the replication of the Index by investing in all of the component securities that make up the Index, holding each stock in approximate proportion to its weighting in the Index. The Index is a marketcapitalisation-weighted index representing the performance of the 100 largest companies traded on the London Stock Exchange that pass screening for size and liquidity. Risk Profile Portfolio Characteristics The value of investments, and the income from them, may fall or rise and investors may get back less than they invested. Investments in smaller companies may be more volatile than investments in well-established blue chip companies. The Trust may invest in derivatives for efficient portfolio management or hedging purposes. The risks associated with the use of derivatives are different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments for efficient portfolio management or hedging purposes. There is no assurance that any derivative strategy used by the Trust will succeed and the Trust may suffer a substantial loss as a result. Trust FTSE 100 Index Number of Stocks Ongoing Charges Figure 1 Trust Trust 31 January July 2017 A GBP Accumulation Units 0.06% 0.06% A GBP Income Units 0.06% 0.06% Ex-Dividend Date 2 1 August August 2017 Distribution Date 30 September September 2017 Sector Diversification (% of portfolio) Trust FTSE 100 Index Basic Materials 9.1% 9.1% Consumer Goods Consumer Services Financials Health Care Industrials Oil & Gas Technology Telecommunications Utilities Ten Largest Holdings 3 (% of total net assets) HSBC Holdings plc Banks 7.7% Royal Dutch Shell A plc Oil & Gas Producers 5.7 British American Tobacco plc Tobacco 5.6 BP plc Oil & Gas Producers 4.9 Royal Dutch Shell B plc Oil & Gas Producers 4.8 GlaxoSmithKline plc Pharmaceuticals & Biotechnology 3.3 Diageo plc Beverages 3.2 AstraZeneca plc Pharmaceuticals & Biotechnology 3.2 Vodafone Group plc Mobile Telecommunications 3.1 Lloyds Banking Group plc Banks 2.5 Top Ten 44.0% Synthetic Risk and Reward Indicator 4 Lower risk Typically lower rewards Higher risk Typically higher rewards The Ongoing Charges Figure (OCF) is the ratio of the Trust s total discloseable costs (excluding overdraft interest) to the average net assets of the Trust. 2 If the ex-dividend or distribution date does not fall on a business day, the effective date will be the first business day following the end of the financial period. 3 The holdings listed exclude any temporary cash investments and equity index products. 4 The Synthetic Risk and Reward Indicator (SRRI) measures the volatility of the Trust. The risk and reward category (which may range from 1 to 7) is calculated using historical data and may not be a reliable indicator of the Trust s future risk profile. The risk and reward category may shift over time and is not a target guarantee. The lowest category (i.e. category 1) does not mean risk free. The Trust appears in the higher risk category on the risk and reward indicator. This is because the Trust invests primarily in shares whose values tend to have higher price fluctuations. 3
6 FTSE 100 Index Unit Trust Commentary On behalf of Vanguard Asset Management, Limited 1 For the six months ended 31 January 2018, Vanguard FTSE 100 Index Unit Trust returned 4.36% for A GBP Accumulation Units and 4.37% for A GBP Income Units. The Trust s target index returned 3.94% for the period. The tracking difference was 0.42 percentage point for Accumulation Units and 0.43 percentage point for Income Units. 2 The difference between the return of the Trust and that of the index resulted in part from a swing pricing adjustment. With effect from 2 October 2017, Vanguard no longer applied a dilution levy and instead implemented a dilution adjustment to the price of Units, also known as swing pricing. The magnitude of the swing is based on estimates of the Trust s average trading costs, including Stamp Duty Reserve Tax. The total return and tracking difference figures calculated for the Trust reflect the Trust s net asset value for dealing purposes, which includes any swing pricing adjustment that was applied. Global equity returns for the six months were generally positive, with emerging-market stocks outpacing those of developed markets. Oil prices rose amid supply concerns and strong global demand. The US dollar continued a long downward trend as the yield curve on US bonds flattened relative to their European and Japanese counterparts. Seven of the index s ten sectors generated positive returns. Oil and gas was the top-contributing sector, followed by basic materials. Health care and utilities were the biggest detractors.

The net asset value per unit shown may diverge from the net asset value per unit used for dealing purposes as at 31 January 2018 because of any adjustments for swing pricing and trade date accounting. 4 Operating charges include indirect costs incurred in the maintenance and running of the Trust, as disclosed in the detailed expenses within the Statement of Total Return. 4

11 Vanguard FTSE 100 Index Unit Trust Statement of the Manager s Responsibilities Period ended 31 January 2018 The Manager of Vanguard FTSE 100 Index Unit Trust ( Trust ) is Vanguard Investments UK, Limited. The Trustee is State Street Trustees Limited and the Auditors are PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. The Trust is a unit trust established under the Trust Deed between the Manager and the Trustee and authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority under Section 243 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 and has been established as an Undertaking for Collective Investments in Transferable Securities ( UCITS ) scheme. The unitholders are not liable for the debts of the Trust. The investment objective of the Trust and the Manager s policy for pursuing that objective are set out in the Trust Profile section of this report and a review of the Trust s investment activities for the relevant period is included within the Portfolio Manager s Commentary. Important Events During the Period With effect from 14 August 2017, the Administrator and Registrar of the Trust, International Financial Data Services Limited and International Financial Data Services (UK) Limited, changed their names to DST Financial Services International Limited and DST Financial Services Europe Limited, respectively. With effect from 5 September 2017, the settlement time of the Trust in relation to subscriptions and redemptions changed from three business days to two business days. With effect from 2 October 2017, a dilution levy was no longer applied and instead a dilution adjustment to the price of Units (also known as swing pricing ) was implemented. With effect from 15 January 2018, Vanguard Global Advisers, LLC, replaced The Vanguard Group, Inc., as the Investment Adviser to the Trust. Statement of Manager s Responsibilities in Relation to the Financial Statements of the Trust The Financial Conduct Authority s Collective Investment Schemes sourcebook ( COLL ) requires the Manager to prepare Financial Statements for each annual and half-yearly accounting period, in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, which give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Trust and of its net revenue and the net capital gains on the property of the Trust for the period. In preparing the Financial Statements the Manager is required to: select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; make judgement and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; prepare financial statements in accordance with the revised Statement of Recommended Practice for Authorised Funds issued by the Investment Management Association (now the Investment Association) in May 2014 (the SORP 2014 ), and with Financial Reporting Standards ( FRS ) 102; prepare the Financial Statements on the basis that the Trust will continue in operation unless it is inappropriate to do so; and keep adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Trust s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Trust, and enable it to ensure that the financial statements comply with the requirements above. The Manager is responsible for the management of the Trust in accordance with its Trust Deed, the Prospectus and the COLL and for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud, error and non-compliance with law or regulations. The Manager s report and the Financial Statements for the period ended 31 January 2018 were signed on 26 March 2018 on behalf of the Manager by: Sean Hagerty, Kenneth E.

12 FTSE 100 Index Unit Trust Further Information Reports and Financial Statements Each year, annual and interim reports will be prepared. They will describe investment activity during the period and provide management commentary. Recipients of this document should not treat the contents as advice relating to legal, taxation or investment matters and should consult their own professional advisers concerning the acquisition, holding or disposing of investments in the Trust. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future performance, and the value of the units and income from them may fall as well as rise. On redemption of units, investors may receive back an amount less than the original amount of their investment. The assets of the Trust will be in a variety of currencies, and therefore movements in the value of currencies may affect the value of an investor s holdings and the income from the holdings may fluctuate in value in money terms. Prospectus The Prospectus, an important document describing the Trust in detail, is available from the Manager, which is responsible for the management and administration of the Trust. The Manager of the Trust is Vanguard Investments UK, Limited, located at 4th Floor, The Walbrook Building, 25 Walbrook, London EC4N 8AF. Types of Units Available The Trust offered one class of units, A GBP, with Income Units and Accumulation Units available in this class. Switching Investors may sell their units and transfer the proceeds into any of the other unit classes by calling our dealing desk on Distributions The Trust allocates income annually, on 31 July. Publication of Prices The most recent unit prices are published daily on vanguard.co.uk. Remuneration Disclosure The Vanguard UK Consolidation Group publishes annually its Pillar 3 disclosures including certain information on remuneration. The latest Pillar 3 disclosures can be found at Vanguard personnel providing services to the Manager are subject to the Vanguard European Remuneration Policy (the Remuneration Policy ). The Remuneration Policy includes the remuneration requirements of the UCITS V Directive (2014/91/EU). Details of the Remuneration Policy are available through which will be updated periodically to reflect changes to the policy. The governance of remuneration within Vanguard Europe is undertaken through a tiered structure, including Vanguard s Global Remuneration Committee and the European Remuneration Committee ( ERC ). The Compensation Committee also operates at the Vanguard Group level and oversees the overall compensation programmes of The Vanguard Group. The ERC is responsible for implementing the remuneration programmes in accordance with our total rewards philosophy and global organisation, including overseeing the Remuneration Policy. The Remuneration Policy provides for an appropriate balance of fixed salary; benefits, such as pension; and annual bonus and long-term incentive arrangements. Incentive arrangements are based on the overall business performance of The Vanguard Group, or individual, team, business unit and fund performance. The incentive plans are reviewed and approved by the ERC (and other applicable groups) in order to ensure that plans appropriately assess financial and non-financial performance and do not encourage conflicts of interest, and to ensure that risk or compliance issues are appropriately reflected. The ERC also reviews and approves the list of UCITS code staff annually. Identified code staff are notified and understand the code staff responsibilities. Under the UCITS V Directive, the Manager is required to disclose information relating to the remuneration paid to its staff for the financial year, split into fixed and variable remuneration. Remuneration reflects fixed pay (salary) and performance-related pay (annual and long-term incentives). Individual incentive outcomes under the plans are based on performance assessed by reference to an appropriate balance of quantitative and qualitative measures, such as behaviour, including compliance with all applicable policies. The individual incentive outcome is fully discretionary and, if appropriate, outcomes based on financial performance can be overridden based on the qualitative measures.
