In 1928, Walter L. Morgan, a Philadelphia-based accountant, established the first balanced mutual fund in the United States.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.journalofaccountancy.com/Issues/1998/Nov/obituary.htm )〕 He established WMC despite the market crash of 1929. In the 1960s, four investment professionals, W. Nicholas Thorndike, Robert Doran, Stephen Paine, and George Lewis took the leadership of the firm and refocused the business. In 1979, 29 original partners bought back the firm—believing the private form of ownership to be in the best interests of clients.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.institutionalinvestor.com/article.aspx?articleID=3071955&single=true#.VA9X_mRdXUc )〕 The company's London office was opened in 1983, Singapore in 1996, Tokyo and Sydney in 1997, Hong Kong in 2003, and Beijing in 2007. Wellington Management has a presence in nearly all sectors of the liquid, global securities markets. The Wellington Fund is one of the oldest surviving American mutual funds. John C. Bogle, who succeeded Morgan as chairman in 1970, later founded Vanguard funds. Wellington Management also manages the Wellesley Income Fund, which is a more conservatively allocated sister of the Wellington Fund. ==Insider Trading Probe== On November 23, 2010, Wellington Management Company turned over documents solicited by U.S. federal investigators regarding an alleged case of insider trading.
