Vanguard investment perspectives

 are a product of investment research conducted by research divisions of Vanguard Institutional.

Institutional investors frequently have the opportunity to invest in products and asset classes prior to their later acceptance by individual investors. For example, institutional investors included international stocks and commercial real estate in their investment portfolios years before individual investors had convenient access to these asset classes.

Vanguard research has provided the basis for the firm's introduction of indexed target retirement funds, inflation-indexed bond funds, and international bond funds.

Vanguard also provides research about the US retirement plan market.
