Investing - Theory, News & General • Re: The Index Fund Turns 50: How Jack Bogle Changed Investing Forever

It is a nice article, but it is historically inaccurate. The first index fund was the S&P500 fund launched by Wells Fargo Investment Advisors in 1973.

I believe that was in a company retirement account, and not publicly available.
