Vanguard

The firm continues to lower the cost of investing for nearly 1.5 million clients by broadening the availability of its low-cost Admiral Shares.

Minimum investment requirements for Admiral Shares will now be lowered from $10,000 to $3,000 for 38 index funds, which is expected to deliver an estimated $71 million in aggregate savings, based on current total assets. This is in addition to the estimated $625 million in cumulative savings that Vanguard has created for its clients over the last three years alone.

“No other firm in the industry has demonstrated Vanguard’s track record of delivering cost savings and value to its clients,” said Vanguard CEO Tim Buckley. “Our unique, client-owned structure enables us to consistently pass along economies of scale and lower the cost of investing for our clients, so they keep more of their returns.”
