John C. Bogle

出生: May 08, 1929 – Montclair, New Jersey, United States

John C. Bogle was an American investor, mutual fund pioneer, and writer focused on index investing, long-term wealth building, and investor rights. He founded Vanguard Group, created the first index mutual fund for individual investors, and wrote influential books including Common Sense on Mutual Funds and The Little Book of Common Sense Investing.

传记与作者历程

John C. Bogle was an American investor, executive, and author whose career reshaped how ordinary people save and invest. Born in 1929 in Montclair, New Jersey, he came of age during the lingering effects of the Great Depression, an experience that sharpened his lifelong concern with thrift, stewardship, and the long-term interests of small investors. He studied economics at Princeton University, where his senior thesis examined the mutual fund industry and argued that funds should be managed with lower costs and greater discipline. That student work became an early blueprint for the ideas that would define his life.
