When evaluating recordkeeping options, there’s an important question to consider:

Will your recordkeeper fully prioritize your goals—and your people?

At Vanguard, we start by aligning with what matters most to you.

We’re investor-owned, and for more than five decades, we’ve focused on one idea: giving investors their best chance for success.

In our defined contribution plans, that shows up as a more integrated and disciplined approach—one designed to lower costs, simplify the experience, and deliver consistent service you can rely on.

Today, we’re proud to be the industry leader in defined contribution assets.

It’s a position that reflects both scale and trust—and it’s a responsibility—we take seriously.

We’re also investing in technology and AI in practical ways … to reduce friction, improve service, and make every interaction more intuitive for clients and their participants.

Across it all, our focus is simple: delivering a better experience … and stronger outcomes.

That means helping participants at the moments that matter—whether saving for emergencies, buying a home, or preparing for retirement—with the right guidance built in through digital tools and human advice.

It’s a disciplined approach—one built to last.

If you’re interested in how we can help your employees reach their retirement goals, we welcome the opportunity to connect.

Together, we can help your employees build stronger financial outcomes—and the confidence to take the next steps on their retirement journeys.

Here, you and your employees are a priority. With Vanguard by your side, you’ll have a strategic partner working to make your job easier and advance your organizational goals. You’ll also have the peace of mind in knowing that our personalized financial well-being support is designed to inspire your employees to live their best lives possible.

Yesterday’s trailblazers. Today’s innovators.

Five decades ago, our founder, John Bogle, brought low-cost investing to everyday people and inspired the world to embrace indexing. We take that same innovative approach to recordkeeping. We partner with like-minded companies and trusted organizations who truly care about their employees. And each day, we align to your priorities and strive to do right by you and your participants. That’s our promise.
