Social media community guidelines
Vanguard manages several social media channels. To create informative and engaging communities where we can share information and have conversations, we ask that all users heed the community guidelines.
We’re glad you’re here
Vanguard is active on social media to answer questions, share insights, and learn alongside the communities we serve. These spaces are meant to be informative, open, and respectful places where conversation matters.
To help create a positive experience for everyone, we’ve outlined a few community guidelines below. They’re designed to support thoughtful dialogue and make sure our social channels remain welcoming and helpful.
You’ll find our official Vanguard social media profiles listed below, but some platforms may also have their own guidelines, which we encourage you to review as you join the conversation.

Social media etiquette
We want Vanguard’s social media spaces to be welcoming, helpful, and productive for everyone. These guidelines are here to support thoughtful conversation and a positive experience across our communities.
Language
Keep it respectful.
We encourage clear, thoughtful conversation. Please avoid profanity, derogatory remarks, or offensive language when engaging with our posts or pages.
Respect
Engage with care.
Healthy discussion and differing perspectives are welcome. We ask that conversations remain respectful and inclusive and that comments do not include racist, sexist, homophobic, or otherwise discriminatory language.
Relevance
Stay on topic.
Keeping comments related to the original post helps conversations stay useful and focused. We also ask that discussions avoid political topics and that posts do not include advertising, solicitation, external links, repetitive content, or spam.
Privacy
Protect personal information.
For your safety, please don’t share personal or account‑specific information on our public social channels. To help protect your privacy and security, we’re unable to discuss account‑specific matters publicly.
Advice & investments
Keep conversations general.
Our social channels are designed for general information and discussion. Please don’t offer or request specific investment advice, strategies, product recommendations, or promote services or firms. For help with your account or customer service needs, we encourage you to visit Vanguard Support.
