better? smarter? safer? more wisely put together? Anybody have any idea about this?
There are thousands of index funds on the market. Vanguard has about 100 of them. If one believes that the content of simular index funds does not vary that much, it all boils down to expenses. Vanguard has traditionally (over 30 years) been the among the least expensive funds available to the general public. Probably why Vanguard is among the most popular fund families today.
