Robin Wigglesworth, editor of the Financial Times's AlphaVille blog, clarified the history of Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) and index funds. He stated that Jack Bogle, the founder of Vanguard, was not responsible for their creation, contrary to popular belief.
“And a lot of people think Jack Bogle, the iconic founder of Vanguard, about how a lot of people think he was one of the people responsible for the exchange traded fund. Or the index fund. Not true. 100% not true.”
“Robin kind of laid my mind for a lot of people. Like, wow, I didn't know the real history.”
