Vanguard was launched in the United States in 1975 on a simple but revolutionary idea – that an investment company should have no outside owners and, therefore, no conflicting loyalties.

Today, Vanguard offers a diverse range of investment products encompassing all the major asset classes and including both active and passively managed funds. The company’s value proposition is to deliver competitively performing mutual funds and ETFs at low cost, along with value-added services such as education and investment thought leadership. Vanguard has helped millions of institutional and individual investors meet their goals based on its core philosophy of treating clients fairly and giving them the best chance for investment success.
