Ramji's appointment was part of a planned transition announced on 14 May 2024.
He succeeds Tim Buckley, who is retiring from the Vanguard Group after more than 30 years of distinguished service, including a highly successful tenure as chairman and chief executive officer.
“For nearly 50 years, Vanguard has taken a stand for individual investors, with an unyielding commitment to serving their best interests and helping them achieve their long-term financial goals,” Ramji said.
“I am honoured and humbled to lead Vanguard into its next chapter, and am deeply committed to continue to steward the company’s mission to give investors the best chance for investment success.”
Daniel Shrimski, managing director of Vanguard Australia, said, “Salim brings with him not only extensive financial services experience, but a deep connection with our organisation’s driving purpose and commitment to put our clients first. We look forward to Salim’s support and leadership as we continue serve our Australian clients and help get them closer to their financial goals.”
Salim is a highly accomplished leader whose background includes more than 25 years of financial services experience. His strong cultural alignment, along with his fresh global perspective and deep expertise in investments, capital markets and wealth management, will serve to further advance the interests of individual investors around the world.
