The temperaments of the two money managers contrast sharply, according to people close to them. Mr. Gross was known inside Pimco for outbursts and boasts, once comparing himself with the famed racehorse Secretariat, according to people familiar with the matter. Inside Vanguard, where most fund managers keep a low profile, one co-worker said he has heard Mr. Barrickman raise his voice only when negotiating bond sales with Wall Street banks... Mr. Barrickman said he doesn't care to compete for the biggest personality in the business. "That's not my style," he said.

One client said he hasn't heard Mr. Barrickman's name before and likes it that way. "We would prefer not to have a star manager making market prognostications about what interest rates are going to do," said Richard Bryan, a financial adviser who has more than $100 million of client money with Mr. Barrickman's fund and worked at Vanguard for more than eight years.
