About Vanguard

More than 45 years ago John C. Bogle had a vision to start an 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 it was 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 than 50 million investors worldwide. For more than 25 years Vanguard Australia has been supporting individual investors financial advisers and superannuation members to achieve their longterm financial goals.
