Headquartered in Malvern, Pennsylvania, Vanguard is one of the world’s largest investment companies, offering a large selection of low-cost mutual funds, ETFs, advice, and related services. From our beginning in 1975, Vanguard set course as a very different kind of investment firm. We believe investors should have access to high-quality, low-cost investment products and services, and have candid, clear information to help you make sound investment decisions.
That's why Vanguard has always been organized differently from other investment firms. Instead of being publicly traded or privately owned, Vanguard is owned by the Vanguard funds, which are owned by our clients.
Vanguard's client-ownership structure has many advantages. We offer a rare kind of stability because we can focus on the long term, which is the right outlook for both investing and running a business. The company you invest with today will be the same company serving you tomorrow.
