Company News
Governor Bob Ferguson has directed $500,000 from Washington's Economic Development Strategic Reserve Fund to support IonQ's expansion in Bothell. The quantum computing manufacturer, whose largest shareholders include Vanguard, BlackRock and Morgan Stanley Investment Management, will use the funding for building upgrades, workforce expenses and expansion costs. The state funding is matched by over $14 million in private investment. IonQ opened the nation's first dedicated quantum computing manufacturing facility in Bothell in 2024, which has since expanded into a 100,000-square-foot hub. The expansion is expected to create between 1,200 and 2,000 jobs over five years. IonQ develops quantum computing systems for complex problems in healthcare, energy and cybersecurity. The Strategic Reserve Fund uses unclaimed lottery prize money for economic development projects.
Vanguard has launched Expert Insights, an AI-powered portfolio analysis tool designed to help financial advisors deliver personalised investment guidance at scale. The tool will be embedded within Vanguard's Portfolio Analytics Tool later in 2026, following a current pilot programme with select advisors. Expert Insights transforms complex portfolio data into actionable, client-ready guidance aligned with Vanguard's methodology. The launch comes as Vanguard's annual portfolio analysis engagements with advisors have quadrupled over the past six years. The tool is part of Vanguard's broader suite of AI-enhanced advisor services, which includes Client-Ready Article Summaries launched in 2025, stress testing features, a Health Care Cost Estimator, and a Social Security Calculator. These enhancements aim to streamline client support and free advisors to focus on relationship building.

Vanguard's three worst-performing equity ETFs in 2026 — the Mega Cap Growth ETF, Growth ETF and Financials ETF — present buying opportunities despite recent underperformance, according to investment analysis. Growth-focused funds have struggled this year as investors rotate towards energy and materials sectors. The Mega Cap Growth ETF, heavily weighted in AI and tech giants like Nvidia, Microsoft and Amazon, has fallen despite these companies' strong earnings growth. This has compressed valuations, with some stocks now cheaper than historical averages. The Vanguard Financials ETF has also declined after strong recent performance. The fund offers diversified exposure to banks, payment processors and insurance companies with durable competitive advantages. Analysts argue the sell-off creates opportunities for long-term investors, particularly as earnings continue growing whilst valuations fall.
Broadridge Financial Solutions has enhanced its ProxyVote platform to enable pass-through voting for asset managers, allowing millions of individual investors to select voting preferences directly after completing proxy ballots. The integration eliminates the need for separate platforms or additional steps. Vanguard will be the first asset manager to implement the capability through its Investor Choice programme, which serves investors holding Vanguard funds on third-party brokerage platforms. The solution currently supports more than 600 funds with over $8 trillion in assets, up from 100 funds two years ago. The enhancement embeds pass-through voting into ProxyVote's existing infrastructure, which processes tens of millions of proxy votes annually. Additional asset managers are expected to integrate the capability following the upcoming proxy season, expanding access across Broadridge's network of 1,100 banks and broker-dealers globally.
