We are Vanguard. Together, we’re changing the way the world invests. For us, investing doesn’t just end in value. It starts with values. Because when you invest with courage, when you invest with clarity, and when you invest with care, you get so much more in return. We invest with purpose—and that’s how we’ve become a global market leader. Here, we grow by doing the right thing for the people we serve. And so can you. We want to make success accessible to everyone. This is our opportunity. Let’s make it count.
Working at Vanguard
Vanguard isn’t like other investment companies. We call our employees the “crew” because we feel that we belong to something bigger than our day jobs.
We’re on a mission to change the way the world invests, and that mission is underpinned by a desire to do the right thing for investors, for each other and for the wider society.
In Europe, our mission is underpinned by four core values which we believe define us when we are operating at our best:
- Care – others before self
- Inclusion – everybody matters
- Curiosity – experiment, learn, adapt and evolve
- Excellence – healthy process, exceptional results
