George U. "Gus" Sauter, managing director and chief investment officer of Vanguard, today
Sauter, 57, joined Vanguard in 1987 and currently directs Vanguard's global investment management groups, which oversee aggregate assets of $1.6 trillion of Vanguard's $2.1 trillion in global assets. Mortimer J. "Tim" Buckley, managing director, will assume the role of chief investment officer upon Sauter's retirement. Buckley has directed Vanguard's Retail Investor Group since 2006.
"I look back with a mixture of pride and humility on helping to popularize the indexing concept,” stated Sauter. "It is time to pass the baton to a new leader who can further build upon our strong investment management foundation.”
