largest active fund company at the time asked investors why anyone would want just average returns. Another called it Bogle’s Folly after Vanguard founder John C. Bogle. Still another fund company went as far as printing a poster that labeled index funds as un-American.1 Active funds were no longer the

many people to thank for this book. First, my patient and loving wife, Daria, to whom this book is dedicated. Second, special thanks go to John Bogle for his generous forward, and Mel Lindauer, Scott Simon, and Ed Tower for their meticulous reading of the manuscript and the critical comments that made

fund industry and was full of great information about the growing mutual fund market up to 1950. The thesis is reproduced in its entirety in John Bogle on Investing: The First 50 Years (McGraw-Hill, 2000). One portion of Bogle’s research reviewed and commented on the performance of mutual funds during

John Bogle made a similar observation in his 1951 Princeton thesis. Michael Jensen If a portfolio has a higher return than predicted by its beta, this excess

John Bogle began the quest for an index fund by first doing his own number-crunching to confirm the performance numbers that others had pointed out. He

adjusting for three-factor risk, on average, the active funds on average underperformed by just about the fees they charged. This should be no surprise. John Bogle hinted at this in his 1951 Princeton thesis and Nobel Laureate William F. Sharpe drove the point home in a three-page paper he wrote

to meet a major need in the marketplace, because most bond mutual funds were grossly overpriced, often carrying both high expenses and excessive sales charges. —John C. Bogle No longer can active managers use the excuse that “you can’t buy the index,” because today you can buy almost any market exposure at

a reasonable cost. Passive investing has exploded since John Bogle launched the First Index Investment Trust in 1976. Today, there are well over 1,000 index funds and ETFs available from dozens of mutual fund

John Bogle was used as a punching bag by competitors. They called his index fund Bogle’s Folly and even un-American. The tactic almost worked. It

index funds were launched by competitors in 1986, which marked the beginning of true competition. A few traditional active mutual fund companies that had lampooned John Bogle in the past reversed course and launched their own index funds lineup. These firms included rivals Fidelity, Dreyfus, and T. Rowe Price. Vanguard expanded its

Consider Bill Schultheis’s The Coffeehouse Investor (Penguin Group, 2009) or John Bogle’s The Little Book of Common Sense Investing (John Wiley & Sons, 2007).
