Vanguard's Advisor-Sold Sales Force Doubles

News summary by MFWire's editors

Vanguard [profile] is taking advantage of its powerful brand and putting advisor-focused wholesalers into the field for the very first time. Jason Kephart of Investm entNews reports that the Valley Forge, Pennsylvania-based low-cost mutual fund and exchange-traded fund giant is also more than doubling the size of that sales force, to 220 reps from 100. Advisors now work with about $250 billion of Vanguard's $1.75 trillion in assets.

"We're late to the game.

Vanguard previously based its advisor-sold sales reps in its Valley Forge headquarters or in its Scottsdale, Arizona central sales office. Yet with the expansion, the new reps will placed in the field across the U.S.
