Vanguard funds have become synonymous with index investing. But if you limit yourself to the firm’s passive strategies, you’ll miss some gems. Indeed, Vanguard fund managers actually invest more of their own money in the firm’s actively managed funds than in their index funds.
Vanguard has such good actively managed funds for two major reasons. One, because Vanguard is owned by its mutual fund shareholders, it has no outside owners to pay — and thus can keep its fees lower than most other fund firms. The other reason: Despite founder Jack Bogle’s advocacy of index-fund investing, he was surprisingly good at identifying talented outside stock pickers and signing them up to manage assets for Vanguard during his tenure.
I’ve had my fair share of headaches with Credco reports, especially when applying for a mortgage. In my case, they pulled in outdated info from an old account that had been closed for years, and it tanked my score right before closing. What a nightmare. I did a bunch of digging and found that Consumer Attorneys PLLC has a solid guide on dealing with these issues: https://consumerattorneys.com/article/credco-credit-report-errors. It breaks down why these errors happen and how to dispute them properly. If you’re in the middle of a loan process, don’t wait—get your report fixed ASAP so you’re not stuck paying higher rates or losing out on a deal.
