Great video Ryan- thank u - was wondering if u cud do a vid on target funds- heard that they r not the best- in the sense of ' one size fits all' - which may b good for some vs others?

[@RyanScribner]

Thanks so much! We do mention Vanguard Target Retirement Funds towards the end, but I will definitely consider doing a full video about this in the future

[@alwayspositive999]

What is the difference between ETF and normal investments?

[@RyanScribner]

I think it depends on your definition of a normal investment, the main difference between ETFs and stocks is the diversification

Excellent video Brother

Thanks for watching Will!

Which account is best for beginners in Vanguard? And what's the best fees to start with? 🤔

Should you invest in a retirement target date fund in a brokerage account if you already have it in a ROTH I RA?

[@deboralacreta]

[@carlo6912]

Great review, thank you. Can you explain the difference between a Vanguard ETF and an Index fund?

[@RyanScribner]

Thanks for watching! An ETF is simply shares of an Index Fund

[@mastertrader3491]

Good day, so index funds are all mutual funds, is this correct please

[@TheSmartLawyer]

No. There are also ETFs that are index funds.

[@mastertrader3491]

@@TheSmartLawyer - SO ETF's and Index Funds are all under the mutual fund category etc.

[@LuiggiChampan]

​@@mastertrader3491no mutual funds and ETFs are technically two different things. However, they behave the same way with slight differences - ETFs pricing is similar to stocks which is ongoing vs mutual funds quoted at the end of the day, along with other differences. When they're referring to index funds it means that the ETF or Mutual Fund follows one of the index (Dow30, S&P 500, Nasdaq, etc) and therefore it is passively managed as the brokerage firm doesn't assign a manager to pick out investments for the fund. When the brokerage firm does asign a manager to pick out investments for an ETF or a MF, these will no be known as actively managed and charge a higher expense ratio. In the long run, 90% of the managers don't beat the index (mainly the S&P 500) therefore it has been advised to the public to just dump your money in an index with lower expense ratio and better returns. Just got to ride the market.

[@AlexNightOwl76]

amazing video! My only question is how do I set up automatic contributions? I have a Schwab account but I read somewhere that if I buy more shares of VOO every month; Schwab charges me $45 for the transaction. Is there a way to avoid this? Would it be better to buy VOO directly from Vanguard?

[@taxcitybagtalk]

Look at the prospectus, you may have to opt into something

[@marlobimmey2901]

From Australia here. If anyone knows - If I invest through Vanguard into the S&P500, given it's an American fund, do I have to pay IRS tax and then tax from ATO? Or will I have to fill out a W-8BEN form as I will be classed as a NRA (Non Resident Alien) to free myself of tax obligations to the IRS? Cheers!

[@thelastripper514]

First of all, thank you so very much for all the information and help! Could you please tell me if this investment option would be available and legitimate for someone who’s not living in the USA?

[@DecapitatedRobot]

Amazing content! Am I able to buy ETFs in my IRA through Dollar Cost Averaging, or wait for the dips, with NO tax consequences? It is currently in the money market fund. I want to buy a few ETFs and maybe a few stocks little by little.

[@jchargles7492]

VTI more volatile than VOO?????

[@RyanScribner]

Both have the same risk/reward score on Vanguard - but it would likely be more volatile as you have a greater amount of small and mid-cap exposure

[@jchargles7492]

@@RyanScribner If you understood index funds you wouldn’t say such foolish things. VOO is more volatile.

[@michi-bi]

@@jchargles7492 can you provide reasons why VOO is more Volatile?

[@eileenwatt8283]

​@@jchargles7492 Get your own channel if you know so much

[@LuiggiChampan]

​@@jchargles7492wrong lmfaoo VOO has a beta of 1. He is correct VTI slightly more volatile with a beta of 1.01 probably because of those mid and smaller caps as mentioned. Makes sense as VTI includes everything in the market not just the S&P 500 as VOO, splitting hairs here. The returns in the long run are very similar. VTI has a lower expense ratio so I'd probably go with that one.
