In the four decades since its founding, the Vanguard Group has grown to be one of the largest investment companies in the world. At the core of that expansion has been Vanguard’s commitment to providing individual investors with low-cost solutions to gaining wealth.
Although other fund companies such as Schwab and Fidelity attempt to compete with Vanguard on fees with selective funds, Vanguard is able to keep its low-cost edge across the fund spectrum based on its unique ownership structure. Unlike other fund companies, which are either corporate-owned or owned by third-party companies, Vanguard is owned by its funds, which, in turn, are owned by their investors. That means the profits generated by the funds’ operations are returned to the investors in the form of lower fees. That makes it very difficult for other companies, which are beholden to their companies’ shareholders, to compete over price.
When exchange-traded funds (ETFs) started to become popular, Vanguard quickly introduced its own suite of ETFs. It has since become the second-largest provider of ETFs in the U.S., after Blackrock. Vanguard’s unique cost structure and the economies of scale it has achieved with the massive amount of assets it has under management have allowed it to offer its ETFs at the lowest cost available in the market.
