I am getting ready to retire and am planning to move nest egg accounts into index funds.
I am liking what I have researched about Vanguard index funds. My thought is to keep it simple with either a 3 fund approach (VTSAX,VTIAX,VBTLX) or maybe 4-fund approach (VTSAX,VTIAX,VBTLX,VTABX). Think Bogleheads!
Planned allocation will be 60/40.
However, in some ways I prefer working with Fidelity. I like web tools and have had an account with them in the past. That plus, I can drive to a Fidelity branch and meet with someone if need be. I go back and forth between investing in Vanguard or use Fidelity and their index funds. I don't know that much yet about the Fido index fund offerings.
My question is, what index funds at Fidelity would be comparable to the VG funds … VTSAX,VTIAX,VBTLX,VTABX ?? Which would you recommend?
I am looking for low ER, no fees, and will be mostly hands off.
Thx
