Vanguard fund recommendations? - Mr. Money Mustache
Currently, I have my Roth IRA invested in two Vanguard funds (VGSTX and VDIGX) and one American Fund (CWGFX). Now that I've maxed that out for the year, I'd like to start investing in taxed accounts with the extra funds. I have about $3000 to invest and I was thinking about putting it in VDIGX, but I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for other Vanguard funds I could invest in ...
Is it safe to keep all your money in Vanguard (in only one place)?
Vanguard is a good company, and JLCollins has some great points. The odds of your money in a Vanguard account just disappearing are very low, but if there's ever an issue (even something as simple as someone stealing your online password) it may take a little time to sort out.
So I transferred all my mutual funds to Vanguard, but now fees to sell?
So I transferred all my mutual funds to Vanguard, but now fees to sell? Like for like means you'll have your funds there. VG charges to sell non-VG funds or buy non-VG funds. You shouldn't have had 35 funds to begin with. Transferring back and fourth again might get you charged for transferring. Most places do that, some waive it for having an account after x number of days.
$100,000 minimum Vanguard fund - Mr. Money Mustache
Several Vanguard Admiral funds have a $50,000 minimum. I invested in the Long-term Investment-grade fund, with a $50,000 minimum (also qualified me for Voyager status) years ago. It wasn't until I started reading this forum did I know that Vanguard offered Admiral funds with a $10,000 minimum.
Vanguard Mutual Funds Recommendation - Mr. Money Mustache
Vanguard Mutual Funds Recommendation My recommendations: 1. Keep it simple at first. Start with a total stock market (90%) and a international (10%). The Fidelity ones you have listed are great. 2. You can add the alternatives in as your portfolio grows. 3. If you have a long time horizon, stay away from bonds for now. As interest rates rise in future, bonds are going to underperform. 4 ...
Buying Vanguard - direct or through Commsec (Australia)
So I am really new to investing and the MMM way of life. I have set up a commsec trading account to buy shares. (I have some NRMA shares that were given to me). I was looking at buying into Vanguard Index Funds. Am I better off purchasing the Vanguard shares through Vanguard Australia directly or just use my Commsec account? The reason I am asking is because Vanguard has a minimum $5,000 for ...
T Rowe Price vs. Vanguard? - forum.mrmoneymustache.com
T Rowe Price vs. Vanguard? Good for you for noticing that high expense ratio! But from the rest of what you say, you would benefit from doing some reading on the difference between actively managed funds vs. index funds. Despite having only four funds, the Vanguard Target Retirement funds are actually much more diversified than the T. Rowe Price Target Date funds. That's because the four ...
Vanguard? American Funds? or Fidelity? - Mr. Money Mustache
Vanguard was founded by John C. Bogle, the guy that came up with index funds and the company is founded on the principles of low cost, market tracking funds... you really can't do better than them insofar as a trust-worthy, solid investment group that isn't out to make themselves huge profits off of your money.
How do I exchange Vanguard index funds without a taxable event?
Let's say I own two Vanguard funds, a REIT fund (VGSLX), and the total stock market index fund (VTSAX). Taxable account. I want to move funds from VGSLX to VTSAX. Is that a taxable event? Is it basically a sale of VGSLX, with realization of gains, followed by a purchase of VTSAX? Is there a way to exchange Vanguard funds without triggering a taxable event? Thanks!
Should I transfer my American Funds account over to Vanguard?
I started off my Roth IRA in 2012 at American Funds. Since I learned "the truth" about fees and such a few months ago, I've been investing in Vanguard only. American Funds has a 5.7% load cost and .70% in annual fees. Vanguard has no loads and a .17% fee for investor shares, and even lower for admiral ones. I have $6050 in AF, and $3100 in Vanguard, so I would only need around $1000 more to ...
