In a departure from the wiki's policy of neutrality, this content presents the personal viewpoints of LadyGeek and Barry Barnitz.

This year saw an increased focus on international investing (domiciled outside the US). The addition of articles such as Investing from the Netherlands and Nonresident alien investors and Ireland domiciled ETFs show how Bogleheads' style investing can be applied world-wide. With the continuing global growth of index investing we remain hopeful that our site's global membership can expand our content to incorporate additional domiciles.[note 1]
The wiki saw the addition of fifty new pages during the fiscal year. The most viewed new pages are included in the following table. For a complete list of new pages, refer to the 2014 - 2015 new pages box provided below.
The table below provides a history of cumulative annual statistics for The Bogleheads® Wiki, derived during the annual May anniversary week of the wiki's founding. The spreadsheet component of the table also contains tabs showing the annual statistics for each year.
