10. VFIAX (ETF: VOO)
This is a vanguard index fund that tracks the S&P 500 which is the top 500 companies here in the United States. This lets you get access to all the largest companies on the stock market including companies like Apple, Amazon, Tesla, Google, McDonalds and so on.
9. FTIHX
This particular index fund would give you exposure to 5058 international stocks that looks to get you results that correspond to teh total return of all foreign and emerging markets. Some of its largest holdings include Nestle, Taiwan Semiconductor, Samsung and Shell.
8. SNXFX (ETF: SCHK)
This is Schwab’s 1000 Index Fund which tracks the total return of the top 1000 largest US Companies based on market capitalization. This gives you more exposure to more companies than just a S&P 500 fund, you’re getting exposure to some mid-cap companies as well
7. FXAIX
This is Fidelity’s version of VFIAX, so the top 500 companies in the US. This one in my opinion is slightly better than VFIAX only because the expense ratio is much lower at 0.015%.
6. VGSLX (ETF: VNQ)
This is Vanguard’s real estate index fund. It invests in a lot of REITs which are real estate entities that buy commercial properties like office buildings, hotels, and other real estate.
5. VQNPX
Vanguard Growth and Income Fund Investor Shares: Known as the growth and income fund, its a fund that seeks to outperform the S&P 500 index. It comes with a little more risk than your traditional S&P 500 index fund. It includes 1536 different companies, and this means it holds a bunch of smaller companies as well - which means that it's going to provide more risk
4. VVIAX (ETF: VTV)
VVIAX is a Vanguard Value Index Fund which invests in the stocks of large US companies in market sectors that tend to grow at a slower pace than the broad market. It typically invests in large, safer companies. In short, it's less about growth and more about stability.
3. FXNAX - Bond Fund
This bond index fund tracks the results corresponding to the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index, which includes US bonds, corporate bonds, asset backed bonds and mortgage backed securities with maturities of at least one year. As you age, most people like to include more fixed income into their portfolio - so if that is something you are looking for you can consider adding this to your portfolio.
2. SCHD (ETF) - So GOOD
This ETF tracks the Dow Jones U.S. Dividend 100 Index, which is composed of stocks from the Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index that have high dividend yields, but it has such great criteria for picking high quality dividend stocks. Listen to their criteria from their prospectus:
The stock must have a $500 million market cap, with at least 10 years of consecutive dividend payments. They need to meet strict financial criteria based on fundamentals such as cash flow to total debt, return on equity, and the 5 year dividend growth rate.
No single stock can represent more than 4% of the index, and no sector can represent more than 25% of the total index, so it’s well balanced.
1. VTSAX (ETF: VTI)
This is one of my favorite index funds because it covers the ENTIRE stock market in the US.
It holds over 4026 stocks, so whether thats a large cap, mid cap, or small cap stock - you can get a piece of every stock in the US by just buying this one fund. If you want to bet on US Companies and stocks - this is the fund for you.

Many people are considering bitcoin as the "ETF of the year." However, I'm curious about which etfs could potentially outperform in terms of growth over the next decade. I've allocated $200k for investment, looking for companies to make additions to boost performance

I think the next big ETF will be A.I. For enduring growth, it's vital to avoid impulsive decisions driven by short-term fluctuations. Prioritize patience and a long-term perspective consider financial advisory for informed buying and selling decisions.

A good number of people discredit the effectiveness of financial advisors in exploring new markets, but over the past 10years I’ve had a financial advisor consistently restructure and diversify my portfolio/expenses and I’ve made over $3million in gains… might not be a lot but i'm financially free.

Investing in the stock market has HISTORICALLY provided higher returns than other forms of investment. According to Morningstar, the average annual return for the S&P 500 index, which measures the performance of 500 large-cap stocks, was approximately 10% from 1926 to 2020.

[@CraigChap_6898]

Stocks are pretty unstable at the moment, but if you do the right math, you should be just fine. Bloomberg and other finance media have been recording cases of folks gaining over 250k just in a matter of weeks/couple months, so I think there are alot of wealth transfer in this downtime if you know where to look.

[@maga_zineng7810]

The best course of action if you lack market knowledge is to ask a consultant or investing coach for guidance or assistance. Speaking with a consultant helped me stay afloat in the market and grow my portfolio to about 65% since January, even though I know it sounds obvious or generic. I believe that is the most effective way to enter the business at the moment.

Are you trying to build your income and prepare for retirement? It’s important to choose stocks that are expected to hold up in inflationary environments. To combat the negative effect of inflation, it’s a good idea to diversify your portfolio across different asset classes, such as stocks, bonds, and real estate, since this can help protect your portfolio against inflation. I have seen People making up to $500k in a month during high inflation. You too can do same.

[@skylarpeterson5814]

This is exactly what I need right now. I have been doing all by myself and losing money faster than I can make. I need a professional assistance.

[@davisj.miller1541]

You are already on the right path by knowing that you need professional assistance. As a beginner, the best thing you can do to help yourself in this business, is get yourself a financial advisor. This way you can make money and also learn the trade.

[@skylarpeterson5814]

The best way you can assist me now is you pointing in the right direction, by giving me the best recommendation you have.

[@davisj.miller1541]

My financial advisor is *Christy Val D'souza* . She is licensed and registered and has since provided entry and exit points on the securities I focus on. You can look her up online if you care for supervision. I basically follow her trade pattern and haven’t regretted it.

[@aarondaniels5525]

There are many other interesting stocks in many industries that you might follow. You don't have to act on every forecast, so I'll suggest that you work with a financial advisor who can help you choose the best times to purchase and sell the shares or ETFs you want to acquire.

[@coreypetitt3009]

@Humphrey - If I have my money in Fidelity, does it just make sense to buy Fidelity’s index funds instead of Vanguard’s? For example, if I want to buy VOO should I just buy FXAIX and pay less expense ratio? That is what I am having trouble with. Convenience is telling me Fidelity but I want to make sure I’m not missing out on something Vanguard provides in VOO that Fidelity doesn’t in FXAIX. Thanks!

Question! I have Fidelity and have been investing in FXIAX. I have a few other index funds I have invested in but I just wanted to know if its necessary to also open up a vanguard and a Schwab account to get the others? Is it necessary or is sticking to just Fidelity okay? Thank you! Still learning.. Happy New Year!

[@Compounddeznuts]

At Fidelity you can buy the ETF equivalent, might be able to buy the index funds or mutual funds from other brokers, but there will probably be a fee on top of the expense ratio for the transaction

[@HealingHans]

@@Compounddeznuts thank you!

[@humphrey]

Just buy the etf equivalent!! Don’t need to open a new account

[@humphrey]

But also fxaix is also good enough if you want to just stick to that.

You mentioned the Schwab dividend fund has averaged over 12%. Does that 12% include the 3% dividend payout being reinvested or is the dividend payout in addition to the 12% return? Thanks so much, great video!

[@jackreign67]

Hi Humphreys . I am 28 years and i been investing in vti / schd for the most part ever since I started investing. I just set up auto investment from my bank to those two etfs on weekly basis. Is that good enough? Don’t really want to bother with single stocks

[@uryanbuenaflor7483]

Hey Humphrey, Appreciate all the content you are providing. I just had a clarifying question about ETF SCHD. You showed it having a expense ratio, but I thought ETF's didn't have expenses. Is this an incorrect assumption? If I were to own it through Webull, do I see that 0.06% fee?

[@xtreyu2385]

ETFs often HAVE a expense ratio in fact most things do

[@humphrey]

Yeah ETFs can still have expense ratios. often times you wont notice them at all though, and 0.06% is a fee that you probably would miss if you werent super diligent

[@guptakollepara]

How is the expense ratio applied? As one holds the ETFs in stocks!

Hi Humphrey. Nice video. Just wanted to let you know that FTIHX is only annual dividend too and not quarterly

Those are all low div ETFs. Hard to live off low div of these funds but they are solid. I use GOF, JEPQ, PDI, TSLY and NVDY!

Hey Humphrey. Im more interested in Islamic Shariah Compliant Index funds. I know there are not many...still could you recommend some of the top performing ones

[@humphrey]

hey Freak, I see. I dont know too much about Shariah compliant funds, but I can try to find some for you online. I found that SPUS is a decent one but the expense ratios with these funds are typically higher (probably because they know the customers MUST buy these if they want to be compliant). So just keep in that in mind.

ETF equivalents are better to buy if someone is starting new. There is no reason to buy fund variants.

Which funds had the lowest drawdown or the best-worst year? For a retired person, this is key.
