Truly incredible numbers here. I know the MB gives these guys a lot of business. What makes them stand out over something comparable, like Schwab?
Not sure if this is behind a paywall.

Vanguard used to be cheap. That was the selling point. Those days are over relatively speaking.

Being early on the scene with decades of name recognition will do wonders for you. See also: Jack Bogle
They have a very strong brand in this market. The Kleenex of indexing if you will.

Same here. We have had to do some pretty complicated pension rollovers lately and they were great to deal with.

They were great for my purposes for ten years. This last year has been bad on several counts - personal and business accounts. I'm in so deep with them I hate to move but it's damn tempting.

But hey, this growth compared to the "competition" is scary in itself. Even for a mutual.

Do you guys have any thoughts on what would happen to the markets if ETFs and MFs keep becoming more popular and the percentage of folks who follow passive index investing keeps increasing vs folks who actively trade individual stocks? If passive investors become >50% of the market, will it change the market dynamics?

There are some articles about that very thing if you Google them.
I've always wondered about it too in very simple terms.
The math for passive investing seemed to support it's use in the past but it wouldn't surprise me if this scenario could theoretically support active investing in the future.
