Hi all, I am trying to DCA bi-weekly into Vanguard ETFs, (VO, VTI etc). It seems like Fidelity does not support auto buying of non-Fidelity ETFs. So I was wondering which of these options you think is best?

1. Open a Vanguard Invest account
2. Look for Fidelity ETFs that are similar to Vanguard ETFs
3. Use smaller brokerages like SoFi l, Robinhood etc.

I really do not want to manage nor be active. My goal is to log-in like once every 6 months.

Thank you all.

If you want to auto invest you will have to use mutual funds, vanguard allows auto buying. The equivalent of VOO Is VFIAX

Basically you would be buying automatically. MFs got a minimum investment amount, whereas ETFs are like stocks of the same composite and you can buy like 1 or multiples of 1. MFs can be bought like partial unit. ETF is relatively cheaper, less tax implications as the distribution is not done in ETFs but in MF. ETF purchases or sales are real time, mf is end of day. Hope you are aware of websites like investopedia etc. You can check out.

Neither fidelity or vanguard or most others allow auto investments in etfs no matter whose funds they are

I guess I am looking for auto buy, not invest. Still new to this

Just use the Fidelity versions.
FSROX = VTI
FDMDX = VO
FSAIX = VOO

Oops yeah FXIAX not FSIAX for VOO
