Our aspiration: Keep changing the way the world invests
When I stepped into the role of CEO, I was humbled and excited to lead a company with a remarkable history and an extremely bright future. The recent passing of our founder, Jack Bogle, only reinforces the responsibility with which Vanguard has been entrusted. He taught all of us at Vanguard many lessons, first and foremost the importance of listening to clients, caring for them as "honest-to-God, down-to-earth human beings," and working tirelessly on their behalf.
Over the past 12 months, I've had the chance to meet with hundreds of clients—individuals, institutions, and financial advisors—and hear what they value most about Vanguard and how we could serve them better. What strikes me most is how these conversations echo what I found when I joined Vanguard 27 years ago. It was clear, even early in my career, that the cards were stacked against most investors. Hidden fees and performance-chasing were relentlessly eroding investors' dreams. We knew Vanguard could be different and, as a result, could make a real difference for clients.
It all boils down to this: Everything we do at Vanguard is designed to give clients the best chance for investment success. We've built our company around the conviction that you rely on us to look out for your best interests—helping to make sure you get a fair shake from us and from our industry.
