The Value of Ownership

Every company wants to serve its owners. We're no different. What sets us apart is who our owners actually are: the people who invest in our funds.*

Vanguard is unique in the industry and places your participants in the owner's seat. That means you can trust us to stand by your participants and do what's right for them—and for you. That's what the Value of Ownership is all about.

*Vanguard is investor owned, meaning the fund shareholders own the funds, which in turn own Vanguard.


Enduring investments

Our job is to help make sure your participants can reach their financial goals. That starts with providing a diverse selection of enduring investments.


Retirement readiness for all

You want to improve your employees’ chances for retirement success. We do too. That path starts at My Retirement GuideTM.
