- VTI (Total US Stock) — Vanguard · $0.03 Expense ratio % · The default US equity holding. If you own one fund, this is a strong candidate.
- VXUS (Total International) — Vanguard · $0.05 Expense ratio % · Pair with VTI in roughly 30/70 international/US for global equity coverage.
- FZROX (Zero Total Market) — Fidelity · $0 Expense ratio % · Only makes sense if you stay at Fidelity — you can't transfer these shares in-kind.
- Betterment — Betterment · $0.25 AUM fee % · The default robo. Worth 0.25% for many; DIY three-fund portfolios beat it on cost.
- Wealthfront — Wealthfront · $0.25 AUM fee % · Edges Betterment for balances above $100k thanks to direct indexing.
- Fidelity Brokerage — Fidelity · $0 Trade commission $ · The best free brokerage for buy-and-hold investors.
