Vanguard will spin out its wealth and advice operation into a standalone division as the passives giant looks to grab a bigger slice of the wealth market.

The move represents the $10tn asset manager’s largest restructuring in more than a decade. It marks a major shift under new chief executive officer Salim Ramji, who took the helm in May.
