Vanguard's S&P 500 index fund fundamentally reshaped investment, democratizing access to broad market returns for millions. Its introduction marked a pivotal shift towards passive strategies, offering simplicity and lower costs. This innovative approach, for what it's worth, quickly became a cornerstone of modern portfolio construction.
