Vanguard'un 50. yılını kutlayan First Index Investment Trust, 1976'da $50m-$150m hedefiyle başlarken sadece $11m topladı. Jack Bogle, 'abject failure'

Vanguard's 50th anniversary fund, the First Index Investment Trust, launched in 1976 with ambitions of raising $50m-$150m but only secured $11m. Jack Bogle labeled it an 'abject failure.' The Financial Analysts Journal scoffed at it being a 'cop-out' and a 'fad.' Today, index funds dominate with $20 trillion in AUM. Yet, investors are rejecting the 'passive' label, opting for active management choices. This shift signals a move beyond mere tracking to strategic decision-making. How will markets react to this evolving landscape?
