About Vanguard More than 45 years ago, John C.
Bogle had a vision to start an investment company that did things differently.
A company with no external shareholders.
Where all the profits were invested back into the business and used to lower costs.
Evidently, it was as bold as it was brilliant.

That means no share prices to protect, and no profits to generate for outside owners.
