Bogle's expectations for stocks and bonds
The Vanguard founder says investors may face lower-than-normal real returns on stocks and should hold bonds for ballast and not return.



Bogle: Be sensible about rebalancing
Investors should use wide bands to trigger rebalancing--if they need to rebalance at all, says the Vanguard founder.



Bogle: Indexing always pays off
Although investors may lean toward active management in bonds and international equities, the Vanguard founder says it's only a matter of time until indexing catches on.



Bogle: Target-date funds have a flaw
The Vanguard founder says many target-date vehicles are underallocated to equities, and investors need to consider combinations of dividends and other retirement income when setting a specific target date.



Bogle skeptical of credit-sensitive bonds, smart beta
The Vanguard founder is leery of the diversifying qualities of currently popular fixed-income investments and says smart beta strategies are "silly."



Bogle on conflicts with the fiduciary standard
The Vanguard founder urges a resolution for asset management companies that have conflicts of interest in serving both their corporate shareholders and fund shareholders.
