“We only have one interest in mind”

Matt Benchener: Check one, two, three. (laugh)

Question (on screen): What’s the most common question you hear from investors, and what do you tell them?

Matt Benchener: The most common question I hear from investors is “Why come to Vanguard?” There’s so many other choices out there, what makes you unique?

Well at Vanguard we have a unique structure. Our investors own the funds, and the funds own Vanguard. And what that means is, we only have one interest in mind, and that’s to give our clients the best chance for investment success.

This translates to everything we do, from our digital experiences, to being served by mission-driven employees – which we call crew – to how we construct our products, our offers, our entire fund lineup. It’s all about investor outcomes. That sets us apart. Our competitors, they have private owners or public shareholders they need to make a profit for. At Vanguard, all we care about is giving our investors the best chance for investment success.
