Is there any specific benefit of purchasing vanguard index fund from vanguard account rather than Fidelity account or its all the same. Wondering if there is any hidden fees.
no difference afaik. i use vanguard but their UI is kinda old
You have pay fee to acquire VTI on fidelity IIRC 75$/transaction. In vanguard it is free
You are confusing VTI with VTSAX. To buy VTI , which is ETF normal brokerage fees apply i,e 4.95 To buy VTSAX the mutual fund, $75 fee applies
I believe fidelity got rid of this brokerage fee. (4.95)
I purchase on Fidelity, because it sucks to ever be on the phone with Vanguard.
