Our people

In their interactions with our crew, our clients sense the values that set Vanguard apart. Foremost among our values is that our clients come first. We strive to provide exceptional service and expertly designed investment products with superior long-term performance. Why? We recognize that our clients are human beings with real needs and aspirations.

Our crew members join us from around the world, attracted to an industry leader that offers competitive compensation and benefits programs and a world-class work environment. They thrive in a culture in which participation, inclusion, and inventiveness are encouraged, where new ideas and innovation can flourish within diverse teams, where opportunities for professional development and advancement abound, and where each person’s contribution can be recognized.

We value the diversity of our crew in all its forms, including age, cultural and socioeconomic background, disability status, family status, gender, national and regional origin, physical attributes, race, sexual orientation, and religious beliefs. We aspire to create an inclusive and equitable environment that enables our diverse community of crew to bring their unique skills and experiences to work and perform at their best every day.

 We’ve set clear goals to increase representation of underrepresented crew across all levels of the organization and to improve inclusion for all crew. Although our goals are clear and we hold ourselves accountable for year-over-year progress, our journey has no end. Diversity, equity, and inclusion is an integral part of how we serve our clients and communities, and our focus is enduring.
