John C. Bogle (John Bogle)

John C. Bogle was an influential American investor and founder of The Vanguard Group. He championed the idea that individual investors can benefit from low-cost, passive investing through index funds, which track the overall market rather than trying to beat it. Bogle’s approach emphasizes minimizing fees and expenses, believing that most active management fails to outperform the market after costs. His innovation made investing more accessible and affordable for everyday people, transforming the mutual fund industry and promoting long-term wealth-building and financial stability for millions.
