Hello all,
After the recent small market upswing, I went ahead and withdrew all the funds in my Betterment account - $1566, and now I want to invest in Vanguard directly.
I did this because Betterment also invests in Vanguard funds (I have been told this before by the community, but I was very intimidated by investing), and I thought it would be a better idea for me to learn about investing and do this myself so that I can save on 0.35% fee I have to pay to Betterment on top of the individual fund fees.
Now, I already have a Roth IRA account with Vanguard which is maxed out for 2016, with the following funds -

Also, can I invest in the exact same funds in the non-investment account as I have in the Roth IRA account? Is there any advantage or disadvantage to this?
Thanks for your help.
