What's Next at Vanguard After Buckley's Sudden Exit?

Vanguard insider shares his take on the CEO's departure and the future of the firm.

The announcement that Tim Buckley would be stepping down as head of Vanguard caught the investment world by surprise earlier this month. 
 
The resignation of the 33-year veteran of the second largest asset manager was unusual in the way it was presented to the world, according to Jeff DeMaso, editor and founder of The Independent Vanguard Adviser. 

Why is Buckley stepping down and who is likely to be his successor? In this episode of Exchange Traded Fridays, DeMaso explores those questions with etf.com senior analyst Sumit Roy and etf.com wealth management editor Jeff Benjamin. 

DeMaso also shares his thoughts on Vanguard’s future and where he sees active ETFs and cryptocurrency funds fitting into the picture.
