Vanguard is one of the world’s largest investment management companies, known for pioneering low-cost index funds. Founded in 1975 by John C. Bogle, Vanguard operates under a unique client-owned structure, meaning its funds’ investors are also its owners. This setup allows Vanguard to prioritize low fees and long-term returns for clients rather than outside shareholders. The firm offers mutual funds, ETFs, retirement accounts, and advisory services, serving millions of individual and institutional investors globally. Vanguard is widely recognized for its commitment to accessibility, transparency, and investor-first principles.
