Allan Roth gets it. He tells us why he is not leaving VG. Many of us could have written this, but he did. Enjoy!

Why does Vanguard pay so much more? Nafis Smith, head of taxable money market funds at Vanguard, told me, “Our [ownership] structure enables us to keep costs low, so that investors keep more of their returns. Vanguard is returning all of their earnings from cash, less the 0.11% expense ratio that Smith noted had declined from 0.33% two decades ago.
Vanguard also returns 100% of profits from securities lending to fund holders, while other firms don’t disclose what they do with the profits. One also has to wonder if for- profit firms are executing trades based on getting the best price for the investor or making the most money for directing order flow.
