Client first, it’s really the ethos of how we operate day to day.

We want to make sure that we are delivering performance that’s commensurate with what the client is expecting from a risk standpoint, a performance standpoint, and ultimately their goal standpoint.

So when we think about our investment philosophy, much of what we do is trying to look through the short-term economic cycles and really focusing on what’s in the best interest of our clients over time. And a big part of our strategy’s always been focused on discipline, risk control, but also that long-term approach to investing.

Our investment teams are highly specialized. And much of that expertise is backed up by a globally integrated team with investment locations in the U.S., Europe, and Asia Pacific and we manage these portfolios using a collaborative approach, we’re getting the very best thinking from people around the globe.

All of our efforts are singularly focused on our clients. That means that as we get better at what we do, and that’s our aim every single year, that value that gets created goes back to our shareholders and that makes us very, very unique.

All investment funds, including those that seek to track an index are subject to risk, including the possible loss of principal. Diversification does not ensure a profit or protect against a loss in a declining market. While the Vanguard ETFs are designed to be as diversified as the original indices they seek to track and can provide greater diversification than an individual investor may achieve independently, any given ETF may not be a diversified investment.
