About 18 months ago when rebalancing I decided not to go to an (almost) all ETF portfolio. My reasons were relatively low volume and wide bid-ask spreads on some of the ETFs. Things seem to have changed so I might do a flip-flop.
The ETFs of interest are VTI (all market), VB (US small cap), VEU (world minus US) and VWO (emerging markets). These are all Vanguard ETFs and have lower expense ratios than even the Admiral shares when available. I calculated that it would save for my portfolio about $1,200 to $1,500 per year. That's not a big deal but it still comes down to reducing my investment expenses down to about 0.1%.
I know others have considered ETF portfolios and some have them. Any comments plus or minus?
