The Vanguard Group

Funds and asset managersasset management

Vanguard is owned by its own funds, so profits return to fund shareholders as lower fees, and its largest index funds now charge a few basis points on roughly $10 trillion of assets. John Bogle founded it in 1975 after Wellington's board removed him, and he launched the first retail index fund the following year. A reader should know up front that the book-length literature is mostly about Bogle and the rise of indexing rather than about how Vanguard is run day to day, and that Bogle wrote a large share of it himself. Wigglesworth and Balchunas cover the index fund as an industry event, Charles Ellis gets closest to the firm and its post-Bogle management, and the Bogle titles set out the fee arithmetic he argued from for forty years.
