Vanguard has also appointed Jeffrey Johnson, who currently leads the regional ISG team, as its new head of fixed income. Johnson would be in charge of 13 portfolio management professionals that together oversee over $28 billion in bond and cash portfolios.
He would also replace Stephen Howard, the current head of fixed income, who decided to leave Vanguard to pursue other opportunities.
