Hi, I need a referral for an internship
in Financial Advisory Team
Valuation, M&A, FDD, or Financial
Consulting - at Big 4 in Germany,
can anyone help me?
I did my bachelor's degree at the
University of Mannheim.
I would appreciate any kind of
support and advice.
I'm not above reaching out to alumni
directly via Linkedln, but l'd prefer to
bug as few as possible. So if you
want to help, guide, or mentor,
please pm me.

Vanguard +1. Buy and hold vanguard funds no transaction fees. They are larger than fidelity
Rising Star
Both Fidelity and Vanguard will do fine. Both offers index funds and ETFs.
But. Look up the founder of Vanguard, John Bogle. He's the patron saint of the individual investor. No one person has done more for the common investor. Vanguard is built on the philosophy of low cost, giving as much back to investors. It's also a mutual company where investors are owners.
I like TD Ameritrade for my ROTH IRA...
Fidelity. You can purchase fractional shares, so you can evenly DCA into just ETFs, so no need for mutual funds.
Both are good. Vanguard is known to not have the best customer service and website. I’ve been a Fidelity customer for 25 years and now have everything there. Couldn’t be happier. Fidelity supports more account types. Their HSA is great as is the CMA (full checking account, 2% cash back CC, all ATM fees reimbursed) and Vanguard offers neither. With the no transaction fees, you can buy Vanguard ETFs or use the Fidelity equivalent index funds which are now often cheaper than Vanguard’s.
And why!
This is talked about on boggleheads some. Doesn’t sound like the ownership results in any real tangible benefits. Vanguard funds and ETFs are typically more tax efficient, which matters in taxable accounts, but you can buy them as ETFs anywhere. Both firms have pluses and minuses. Won’t go wrong at Vanguard, Fidelity or Schwab.
Both are great! I use Vanguard and like their funds FWIW.
Vanguard since they have great ETFs and mutual funds. If/when you’re ready to invest in individual stocks, then open with Fidelity or another low cost brokerage.
Am I able to invest in Vanguard ETFs with Fidelity? I like Fidelity’s UI and seems like it’s easy to get help / navigate, with helpful materials. How far off in terms of gains between the two? Seeing from the comments, it’s more so of ownership differences?
No
