1974年,被誉为“指数基金教父”的约翰·伯格,创办了先锋基金公司。次年,全球第一只被动跟踪标普500指数的基金诞生。随后30多年时间里,约翰·伯格的先锋集团成长为全球第二大共同基金公司,集团旗下管理的资产高达9500亿美元,相当于13亿中国人所持有的全部美元资产的50%。 In 1974, John Berg, known as the “godfather of index funds,” founded the Pioneer Fund Company. The following year, the world’s first fund to passively track the S & P 500 was born. For more than 30 years, John Berg’s Vanguard Group has grown to become the second-largest mutual fund company in the world. The group manages assets of up to 950 billion U.S. dollars, equivalent to 50% of the total U.S. dollar assets held by 1.3 billion Chinese.
