An industry record $236 billion flowed into Vanguard mutual funds in 2015, as the Malvern, Pennsylvania investment giant founded by passive investment pioneer Jack Bogle continued to benefit from investors’ redemptions from actively managed investment strategies.
It was the largest flow of assets ever to a single management company, eclipsing the record Vanguard set in 2014, when its funds attracted $214.5 billion in assets, according to reporting in the Wall Street Journal.
A representative from Morningstar says its analysts won’t have Vanguard’s total 2015 numbers for several more days, but that the data it has through November 2015 validates the Journal’s reporting.
