The Vanguard Group, Inc. is an American registered investment adviser founded on May 1, 1975, and based in Malvern, Pennsylvania, with approximately $12 trillion in global assets under management as of 2025.

In addition to mutual funds and ETFs, Vanguard offers brokerage services, educational account services, financial planning, asset management, and trust services.

Along with BlackRock and State Street, Vanguard is considered to be one of the Big Three index fund managers.
Founder and former chairman John C.
