Executive Overview

Vanguard is one of the world's largest investment companies, offering a large selection of low-cost mutual funds, ETFs, advice, and related services. Whether you are an individual investor or a financial professional, or you represent a corporate or institutional investor, you can benefit from the size, stability, and experience we offer. Our total assets are about $7 trillion in global assets under management, as of March 31st, 2021. What sets Vanguard apart is that it is founded on the revolutionary idea that a mutual fund management company should be managed in the sole interest of its funds' investors. With no other parties to answer to, we can make every decision solely with investors' interests in mind. Also, because we're not publicly traded, Vanguard can stay focused on the long term, rather than catering to outside owners or the short-term expectations of Wall Street. Therefore, our unique structure enables us to truly embody our core values of integrity, focus, stewardship.

Prior to this role, Mr. Nagar was Head of Risk Management for the Investment Management Group in Europe, responsible for investment and operational risk management and oversight of the UK and Irish fund range. Mr. Nagar joined Vanguard in 2000 and has held various positions of increasing responsibility within Vanguard’s Planning & Development, Information Technology and Investment Management divisions along with numerous special assignments.
