PROFILE |
 |
Just like Lord Nelson's flagship for which it was named, The Vanguard Group is in battle, hoping to torpedo rival FMR, the world's largest mutual fund company. Vanguard offers a wide variety of stocks, bonds, and mixed funds of US and foreign companies' securities. Its most popular products are index funds, which track the market and are generally a safe, long-term investment. Unlike other fund companies, Vanguard keeps costs low; the investor-owned company plows earnings back into its funds, rather than diverting them into fees or advertising. It also reduces costs on its actively managed funds by outsourcing management to other companies.
