Head of Multi-Asset Solutions

About Vanguard More than 50 years ago, John C. Bogle had a vision to start an investment company that did things differently. A company with no external shareholders. Where all the profits were invested back into the business and used to lower costs.

Evidently, it was as bold as it was brilliant. To this day, Vanguard Group still has no external shareholders. That means no share prices to protect, and no profits to generate for outside owners. Today, Vanguard is one of the world’s largest investment management companies, serving more than 50 million investors worldwide.
