Vanguard is one of the world's most respected investment management companies, offering a broad selection of investments, advice, retirement services, and insights to individual investors, institutions, and financial professionals.

Vanguard set out in 1975 under a radical ownership structure that remains unique in the asset management industry. Our company is owned by its member funds, which in turn are owned by fund shareholders. With no outside owners to satisfy, we focus squarely on meeting the investment needs of our clients.

What Companies Does the Vanguard Group Own? Vanguard's owners are its funds' shareholders. If a fund holds shares of a company, then that fund and the fund's shareholders are owners of the company whose share is held. So, Vanguard doesn't own any companies; the fund's shareholders do.

Largest shareholders include Bank Of America Corp /de/, Wellspring Financial Advisors, LLC, Morgan Stanley, LPL Financial LLC, Compass Financial Group, INC/SD, UBS Group AG, Houlihan Financial Resource Group, Ltd., Wells Fargo & Company/mn, Ameriprise Financial Inc, and Envestnet Asset Management Inc .

Who owns BlackRock? BlackRock is not owned by a single individual or company. Instead, its shares are owned by a large number of individual and institutional investors. The biggest institutional shareholders such as The Vanguard Group and State Street are merely custodians of the stock for their clients.

An investment group is a business that pools money from investors to use in investments, such as stocks, bonds, real estate, and other assets. The investors can be individuals or businesses, and the investment group typically provides advice on what investments to make and managing the investments.
