Vanguard Group Portfolio holdings
Vanguard Group is an investment manager owned by the funds it manages, and so by its own customers. John Bogle founded it in 1975 and is credited with creating the first index fund available to individual investors. After Wellington Management fired Bogle in 1974, he started a new fund division there and named it Vanguard after HMS Vanguard, Horatio Nelson's flagship. Bogle set up its first index fund in 1976, the fund that became the Vanguard 500 Index Fund, and the firm added a bond index fund in 1986. It began offering ETFs in 2001 as exchange-traded shares of its index funds, and it also serves employers' retirement plans and independent financial advisers. Salim Ramji, who came from BlackRock, was named chief executive in 2024 as the first outsider to lead the firm.
