Johnson turned the mutual fund group, founded by his father, into an industry giant - mainstream America’s most familiar mutual fund family. He also pioneered such mutual fund practices as selling direct rather than through brokers, offering discount brokerage services, forming a unit to handle big institutional accounts and creating dozens of funds that specialize in specific industries or geographic regions.
