At Vanguard, investors can earn more over time simply by keeping more of their investment returns. Unlike other investment companies, we don't have outside owners taking a portion of clients’ returns. With no other parties to answer to, we can keep costs low and we can make every decision solely with investors'​ interests in mind. Vanguard is one of the world's largest investment companies, offering a large selection of high-quality low-cost mutual funds, ETFs, advice, and related services. Individual and institutional investors, financial professionals, and plan sponsors can benefit from the size, stability, and experience Vanguard offers. As of April 30, 2019, we managed more than $5.6 trillion in global assets. In addition, we have 189 funds in the United States and 225 funds in global markets.
