Vanguard Principal Brent Beardsley joins the Advisor Insider podcast to offer an inside perspective on how and where the financial services conglomerate works with outside financial advisors while balancing a relationship with advisors working inside its Wealth Management Division.

On the markets, Beardsley says Vanguard sees an ideal opportunity to tap into the fixed-income strategies and highlights where and how direct indexing strategies can benefit certain investors.

The conversation with etf.com Wealth Management Editor Jeff Benjamin wraps up with a look behind the scenes of Vanguard’s [planned buildout of the Wealth Management Division,](/sections/news/vanguard-preps-bulk-wealth-management "/sections/news/vanguard-preps-bulk-wealth-management") including how Vanguard navigates potentially directly competing with financial advisors.
