Five years ago, Vanguard’s record-keeping business began targeting small plans with the launch of Vanguard Retirement Plan Access, a unit established to provide specific services and platforms for start-up plans and established 401(k)s with up to $20 million in assets.
Since then, growth in the VRPA unit has been explosive.
In 2012, the unit serviced 445 plans and 16,446 total individual accounts. The average plan account value was $1.9 million, putting total assets in the $846 million range.
