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.
