Vanguard created the index fund and is still the name for low cost, long term investing. Its ETFs and mutual funds cover the whole market, and its investor owned structure keeps fees among the lowest anywhere.

It works best for personal investors who want to buy broad index funds and hold for decades, in brokerage accounts, IRAs and Roth IRAs. Business owners can use its SEP IRA for retirement savings.
