Was with Vanguard 25yrs/ customer service agents seemed knowledgeable.
Until they were not. Found this out during several large transactions at retirement. During that time also had E-trade, and other trading brokerages.
Left VG about 10 yrs ago in frustration due to their un knowledgeable phone cust service and stogy dated website. . Now just with Ch Schwab (past 10 yrs) And credit unions . I am happy I made the change. I understand Fidelity is about the same as Schwab. Both have offices close to home. And I don't see one having an advantage over the other. I just remember how happy I was to get out of VG.
With CH SCH cash funds like SWVXX paying 5.18%. I see no reason to leave. Easy transfers, knowledgeable staff. Decent website.
