VTI ER at Fidelity is 0.03%.FSKAX expense ratio is 0.015%
VTI expense ratio at Fido is 0.05% (There is no extra cost to buy or sell most (all?) ETF's.)
I believe the conversion of VTSAX to the ETF VTI is done only at Vanguard & not at Fidelity. If one uses VTSAX or any non Fidelity Mutual Fund at Fidelity, a fee is charged.
You can buy Total Stock Market ETF with different tickers. The expense ratios are very low (quoted above).
In the IRA and Roth, for the equity allocation, I'd go with Fidelity ZERO Total Market Index Fund FZROX. No expenses for the foreseeable future.
How does it take so long to transfer money between these various companies? I started a small transfer on Monday and still so sign of it by this morning. I could have walked it over myself in a wheelbarrow by now FFS.
Up thread, it was said to buy an ETF versus a fund. Fidelity doesn't seem to have a total market ETF of their own. Their fund is FSKAX. Would it be better to get VTI through Fidelity (if I can), or is there a Fidelity branded ETF that I'm not seeing. I'm guessing VTI through Fidelity would have higher fees than their FSKAX fund.
I know. I had to liquidate and during the time of transfer, the market was hot. Frustrating but have to look at the big picture - it’s a long game. Thankfully, everything did get there with no issues and I’m back up and running now.
