As part of the festivities surrounding the 2009 Journal of Indexes editorial board meeting, IndexUniverse.com hosted a live webinar with Vanguard founder and index industry legend John Bogle.

During the one-hour presentation, Mr. Bogle unveiled new research regarding how successful (or not) investors are when trading exchange-traded funds, and took a big picture look at the state of American finance.

Moderated by JoI editor and IndexUniverse.com publisher Jim Wiandt, the webinar features an extensive audience Q&A session. A full transcript follows below.

Jim Wiandt, editor, Journal of Indexes (Wiandt): Good morning everyone, and welcome to a very special event that we have here today. We are actually at the NASDAQ market site and we have the Journal of Indexes editorial board meeting today.

We have a very special guest to present today at our webinar. John Bogle is a legend. He is an icon and is really the father of indexing and sensible asset allocation for average investors. We are delighted to have Mr. Bogle here today.

He is going to go through a series of slides, some of which are extremely interesting and very pertinent, which speak to the way the index industry has evolved in recent years.

The format for today will be first, Mr. Bogle will go through his slides, and then we are going to open things up for questions.

We have all of these slides posted to our Web site, IndexUniverse.com [available here]. Without any further ado, I will turn things over to Mr. Bogle. And, again, we are delighted to have you, Mr. Bogle, and look forward to the presentation.

[Editor’s Note: A replay of the webinar is available here.]
