Rodney Comegys (Vanguard): "La principal forma de ahorrar para la jubilación son los fondos indexados"

Rodney Comegys, head of global equity at Vanguard, explains that the main way to save for retirement is through index funds. In 1971, Vanguard launched the first index fund to keep costs low, as fund managers charged high fees and prioritized their profits over clients' interests. Comegys oversees $8.5 trillion in assets and notes that passive management, which replicates indexes instead of trying to beat them, has expanded market access and saved Americans over $500 million over the past 25 years.

The biggest change in index investing over the past 50 years is the benefits it has brought to investors, especially in the United States. Since the 1970s, Americans no longer relied solely on pensions; instead, the 401(k) and individual retirement accounts (IRAs) became the primary ways people saved for retirement, with index funds being the main method.

Indexing has also evolved, starting with the 500 largest U.S. stocks and now offering a global fund across 48 countries at a low price.
