About Vanguard
More than 45 years ago John C. Bogle had a visionto startan 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 itwas 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 worlds largest investment management companies serving more than50 million investorsworldwide. For more than 25 years Vanguard Australia has been supporting individual investors financial advisers and superannuation members to achieve their long-term financial goals.
