Hola from Ecuador (trapped on a REALLY long virus holiday, another story...)
I am thinking of consolidating my 3 brokerage accounts down to 2. Idea is to make it easier to manage my assets and have them in one place for quicker access when needed.
I am considering which to stay with - Fidelity or Vanguard. Fid is my preferred choice and kinda decided to move that direction for these reasons:
- Good service
- Free wires domestic and intl *
- Free WW ATM usage via fee rebate *
- Easy website to use
- Low cost trading (I don't do much though)
* very important
Brief search of VG didn't show the * features and I have less assets in there so it seems logical to consolidate with Fid.
So my question is: Does anyone have any ideas about why keeping the VG account open would make sense? Am I missing anything important about VG?
I have access to all VG Index funds via Fid and I don't do anything with VG other than check the balance regularly and get my 1099.
Seems like you’ve answered your own question
Since the Intl ATMs are very important, Fidelity is easy choice for you.
