Vanguard’s Post

Vanguard's roots go back 95 years to our first mutual fund, Wellington Fund, launched this month in 1929. Despite being introduced just before some of the worst years in U.S. financial market history, Wellington not only survived—but thrived. It remains the industry's oldest balanced fund and one of its largest.

This Pride Month, we embraced the theme "Uniquely U," which celebrates the individuality and spirit of our vibrant LGBTQIA community. OPEN, Vanguard's crew resource group that strives to empower LGBTQIA professionals, has led the charge with a series of socials, educational ally workshops, engaging debates, community outreach, and opportunities to celebrate together. Celebrations culminated this week with a dynamic panel discussion featuring LGBTQIA members and allies from various career stages at Vanguard. The group shared personal stories and insights on what it means to be “Uniquely U” and embrace their individual identities in all aspects of life. #PrideMonth #UniquelyU #LifeAtVanguard

Last week, crew were invited to commemorate Juneteenth, a federal holiday recognizing the emancipation of enslaved Black Americans, with a series of BOLD Family Reunions celebrating the theme “Forward Together.” Hosted by Vanguard’s Black Organization for Leadership and Dialogue (BOLD) crew resource group, members and allies connected over food, music, dancing, and games throughout our largest U.S. sites in Pennsylvania, Arizona, North Carolina, and Texas. BOLD leaders Robin Holts and Bre Ryans shared the importance of recognizing Juneteenth at the BOLD Family Reunion this year: “There’s an amazing connection between Juneteenth and family reunions,” said Holts. “Juneteenth is about the last enslaved people finding out they were free, and family reunions started when people of color in the South wanted to find out where their family members were,” shared Ryans. “Being raised in the South, I’ve gone to family reunions my entire life. They combine celebrating with family, reconnecting with lost loved ones, and meeting new people.” #InclusionAtVanguard #Juneteenth #BOLDFamilyReunion
