<figcaption>John Clifton "Jack" Bogle created the first passive index
mutual fund open to the public, the Vanguard 500, and with it
revolutionized investing. If there were a Mt. Rushmore for investment
giants, Bogle's face would tower over us, alongside the likes of Warren
Buffett and Benjamin Graham. His crusade for simplicity, common sense,
and low fees in the financial industry is heralded by an army of
devoted financially confident foot soldiers, known as the <a href="https://www.bogleheads.org/"

<blockquote>
<p>“There are a few investment managers, of course, who are very good
– though in the short run, it’s difficult to determine whether a great
record is due to luck or talent. Most advisors, however, are far better
at generating high fees than they are at generating high returns.
In truth, their core competence is salesmanship. Rather than listen
to their siren songs, investors – large and small – should instead
read Jack Bogle’s The Little Book of Common Sense Investing.” .</p>
<p>—Warren Buffett, Chairman of Berkshire Hathaway,<cite title="Source Title">
2014 Annual Shareholder Letter</cite></p>
