Rick Ferri, CFA, a long-time Boglehead and investment adviser, hosts the Bogleheads on Investing podcast. The Bogleheads are a group of like-minded individual investors who follow the general investment and business beliefs of John C. Bogle, founder and former CEO of the Vanguard Group. It is a conflict-free community where individual investors reach out and provide education, assistance, and relevant information to other investors of all experience levels at no cost. The organization supports a free forum at Bogleheads.org, and the wiki site is Bogleheads® wiki. 

 

Since 2000, the Bogleheads have held national conferences in major cities nationwide. Local Chapters in the US and a few foreign chapters meet regularly. New Chapters are added regularly. All Bogleheads activities are coordinated by volunteers who contribute their time and talent.
