Founded by John C. Bogle in 1975, The Vanguard Group is one of the world's largest investment companies, with trillions of dollars in global assets under management. It is headquartered in Malvern, Pennsylvania, and is renowned for its unique client-owned structure, where the company's funds own the company, and thus the fund shareholders are the ultimate owners. Vanguard's core mission is to "take a stand for all investors, to treat them fairly, and to give them the best chance for investment success." It is credited with popularizing the index fund for individual investors and is a leading provider of low-cost, passively managed investment products.
