For some investors, Vanguard is synonymous with index investing. We pioneered the concept of indexing when we launched the first index fund for individual investors in 1976.
What is lesser known, is that our heritage and strength in active fund management actually predates this. We started life as an active fund manager back in 1975.
Today, with more than £1.2 trillion in active assets under management we are one of the world’s largest active managers.

Our expertise in both active fund management and index investing means we concern ourselves only with creating genuine alpha in our active range. We know when indexing is optimal and when active management can offer investors something extra.
Our active range spans equities and fixed income. For those who want to balance their personal values and financial goals we also offer sustainable active funds, including multi-asset funds and a global equity fund
Across all our active funds we stay true to three consistent principles:
● An extensive talent pool – whether it’s internally at Vanguard, or using an external partner, we take a global, best of breed approach to manager selection;
● Competitive pricing – providing world-class active management at a cost that represents value to investors;
● And patience – we have a long-term focus when selecting managers, allowing them to realise alpha for investors over time.
Whichever fund they choose, investors can be confident in the knowledge that at every stage, they are subject to the scrutiny of Vanguard’s most senior leadership teams.
It is this combination of heritage, governance and long-term thinking that gives us our active edge, and investors the value that they deserve.

The value of investments, and the income from them, may fall or rise and investors may get back less than they invested
