Josh Brown: Vanguard Takes a Victory Lap: 86% of its Stock Funds Beat the Peer Group

in Fund Discussions
FYI: Ordinarily, when a money manager breaks the trillion-dollar mark, its only a matter of time before people start saying they’ll never be able to keep up the performance that got them there. Vanguard has broken $3 trillion and the wins keep coming. It helps that, aside from reducing tracking error, the funds aren’t really trying too hard or spending too much.

This is a remarkable year for Vanguard’s mutual funds – especially its stock funds and balanced funds – as you’ll see below. This was supposed to be the year of dispersion, where stock pickers’ abilities would finally shine through. Turns out, costs still trumped alpha in the aggregate
Regards,
Ted
