He is the "father" of index investing.

Today his Vanguard index fund is now the largest investment fund in the world, recently overtaking Pimco's main bond fund.

Today though, with stock markets at all-time highs, is index investing the way to go?

Bogle says yes. The low-cost advantage of the index fund provides a long-term advantage that active money managers will in most cases fail to beat.

Over time the index fund wins. Bogle calls it a case of simple mathematics.
