“Don’t look for the needle in the haystack, just buy the haystack”.
Jack Bogle, Vanguard founder
What are Vanguard index funds?
We offer a range of individual Vanguard Index Funds that give you access to company shares and bonds from around the world. This is in addition to our multi-asset Global Index Funds which invest 100% in Vanguard index funds.
Index funds can be a cost-efficient way of investing, as they track the performance of a bond or a stock market index. A good example of a stock market index is the S&P500 index in the United States. The funds are managed with the objective of delivering investment returns in line with the index that they track before any charges are applied. With our Index Funds you can invest across global government or corporate bonds or global company shares, typically at a lower cost than actively managed funds.
Active investing involves the buying and selling of investments such as stocks and shares, bonds, and property. The fund managers regularly monitor the funds to explore profitable opportunities, aiming to outperform the specific asset class benchmark or market index over the longer term.
