Provenance

Where it came from

Published in 2002, this volume serves as a detailed memoir and historical account written by John C. Bogle, the founder of The Vanguard Group. The book was conceived to document the evolution of the firm from its inception in 1974, providing a first-hand perspective on the development of the index mutual fund industry and the philosophical commitment to investor-owned governance that defined Vanguard's market position.

The work is widely regarded as a seminal text in financial literature, praised for its transparency regarding the internal challenges of building an asset management firm that prioritized low costs and long-term fiduciary responsibility over short-term profitability.
