Precedent Setting Vanguard Group 2014 Intake Flowed Primarily To Four Funds

By

The Wall Street Journal followed their front page story on Vanguard’s record $216 Billion 2014 haul with a second article last week saying just over half of that precedent setting intake went to four passive Vanguard funds.

Clients flooded the Malvern, Pa., mutual-fund company with $233 billion last year, according to Morningstar. Roughly $129 billion of that total went to four so-called passive funds that mimic the composition of bond and stock indexes, including a record $40 billion to the Vanguard Total Stock Market Index.

The new data highlight how Vanguard is benefiting from the broad move away from money managers that make specific bets on stocks or bonds as investors shift their confidence—and money—into index funds for a fraction of the cost.
