In this episode of This Week in Wall Street History, Todd M. Schoenberger explores the importance of April 10 in Vanguard’s history—notably the firm’s deepening commitment to low-cost, investor-first indexing that reshaped asset management. We’ll dive into Vanguard’s founding vision with John Bogle in the 1970s (built on an investor-owned structure and pioneering the first S&P 500 index fund), and how April 10, across years, marked key advances in cash allocation frameworks and enduring value for investors. We’ll also connect it to today’s environment—how Vanguard’s low-cost model thrives amid volatility and why it remains trusted for retail investing.
