Our investment approach

From the time you make your first investment with Vanguard, you can take comfort knowing that we manage your money like it is our own. We look for the most efficient ways to invest your money so that we can deliver long-term investment results.

 

Long-term vision yields long-term results


We believe a long-term approach to investing delivers the best results. That's why we buy and hold stocks with long-term growth in mind, rather than actively trading them in pursuit of short-term gains.


Our approach focuses on the end result


The return you take home after expenses and tax is what really counts. As we manage costs wherever we can you can keep more of the returns you earn.

Because we hold stocks for the long term we have lower turnover than many active funds. Lower turnover means lower costs and tax, which can lead to better real returns for investors in the long run.

 

 

Optimised portfolios = optimised returns


Not all index managers are the same. Instead of holding every security in an index, we aim to build portfolios with the optimal number of securities to closely track the index performance without incurring unnecessary transaction costs. It's what we call optimised indexing.

This way investors get all the benefits of holding a diversified portfolio like lower risk and enhanced return potential, without the associated costs.
