Investment Style
In simple terms, Jack Bogle’s investing philosophy advocates capturing market returns by investing in broad-based index mutual funds that are characterized as no-load, low-cost, low-turnover and passively managed. He has consistently recommended that individual investors focus on the following themes:

The primacy of investing simplicity
Minimizing investment-related costs and expenses
The productive economics of a long-term investment horizon
A reliance on rational analysis and an avoidance of emotions in the investment decision-making process
The universality of index investing as an appropriate strategy for individual investors
