Vanguard Group, the biggest U.S. mutual fund firm, experienced technical problems that made it difficult for some customers to access its website by phone or the internet amid Wednesday’s market rout.

The company blamed “periodic network connectivity issues” for the difficulties. “We continue to work on restoring full access and sincerely apologize to our clients who were inconvenienced,” spokesman John Woerth wrote in an email.
