Who is John Bogle?

December 6, 2022

John Bogle is an American investor and the founder of the Vanguard Group. He is known for his contributions to the field of finance, particularly his advocacy for index investing and his criticism of the mutual fund industry.

Bogle was born in 1929 and grew up in New Jersey. He studied economics at Princeton University and then went to work at the investment firm Wellington Management Company. In 1975, he founded the Vanguard Group, which is now one of the largest investment firms in the world.

Bogle is widely credited with pioneering the concept of index investing, which involves creating portfolios that track a broad market index, such as the S&P 500, rather than trying to beat the market through active stock picking. He is also known for his criticism of the mutual fund industry, which he has argued is too focused on short-term gains and is not serving the interests of its customers.

Throughout his career, Bogle has been a vocal advocate for the importance of long-term investing and for the need for greater transparency and accountability in the financial industry. He has received numerous awards and accolades for his work, and he is widely respected as a leader in the field of finance.
