About Vanguard Spain
Vanguard is a company built on the simple premise that an investment firm should manage its funds solely in the interests of its clients. Since establishing the first indexed mutual fund in the U.S. in 1976, Vanguard has grown into one of the world's largest and most respected investment management companies. Globally, Vanguard manages some 10.4 trillion US Dollars on behalf of our clients. Our experience in Europe is a compelling 15-year growth story and we are excited to invite applications for vacancies in our new Spain Office in Madrid.
We have worked with clients in Spain for many years and have deep rooted client relationships on the ground. Opening the office in Madrid will allow us to broaden and deepen those relationships with wholesale and adviser clients. Spain is one of the largest investment management markets in Europe but is characterised by low penetration of indexing and ETFs. As one of the largest passive and active investment managers in the world, Vanguard is well positioned to help Spanish investors understand the benefits of low-cost index funds and ETFs.
