Vanguard Group’s modern identity is anchored to May 1, 1975, when Vanguard commenced operations under John Bogle’s investor owned structure. The company was designed so its funds owned Vanguard and the fund investors were ultimately the owners.
May 1, 1975 carries a 28/1 full date total, 1 day, 5 month, and 22 year. Its Eastern identity is Cat, with Goat and Pig as friendly signs and Rooster as its direct enemy. VANGUARD GROUP totals 165/12/3 in Letterology.
The strongest discovery is a repeated expansion of investor access. In the friendly Pig year of 1983, Vanguard launched low commission brokerage services. In the Cat own year of 2011, it launched Financial Advisor Services, and in the friendly Goat year of 2015, it introduced Personal Advisor Services. In the friendly Pig year of 2019, Vanguard extended commission free trading beyond ETFs while continuing broad expense reductions.
CUE: Vanguard carries the energy of repeatedly removing barriers between ordinary investors and the financial system, expanding access while continually lowering the cost of participation.
