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 world’s largest investment management companies,

serving more than 50 million investors worldwide. For more than 30 years

Vanguard Australia has been supporting individual investors, financial advisers,

and superannuation members to achieve their long-term financial goals.
