Being an investor with Vanguard for 30 plus years I hope that the new CEO will manage Vanguard in the vein of Jack Bogle and represent small investors on which the firm was founded.. I cringle when I see ads for Vanguard that claim that it is owned by the investors since no disclosures have been made to the owners for many years. Hopefully the new external CEO will right the Vanguard Ship in the style of Jack Bogle.

Amen to Leonardo's comment. How we all yearn for a return to Jack Bogle's vision and style of leadership.
