# Vanguard

## Profile

A massive investment management company known for popularizing **index funds** and the strategy of broad market diversification.

## Role in this source

Vanguard serves as the institutional foil for [[entity-michael-saylor]]'s critique of diversification. It represents the philosophical opposite of [[concept-concentration-vs-diversification]] — the idea that holding the entire market beats picking winners.

Saylor critiques this directly in [[claim-diversification-is-for-ignorance]] and the contrarian framing in [[contrarian-diversification-is-destructive]].

Founded by [[entity-john-bogle]].
