My company’s 401k program is through Fidelity and auto assigns us the Freedom class of funds. Any pros/cons to switching funds to Vanguard (thinking VINIX) even though my brokerage remains Fidelity?

What is the expense ratio? I didn't know there were Vanguard funds through Fidelity so I'm not aware of any specific issues.

Good to know. I'll look into the expense ratios out of curiosity. But I already have my company sponsored accounts with Fidelity and my personal IRAs with Vanguard.

100% of my 401k through fidelity is in VINEX.

I think my current one is 0.06%, but could be wrong though. I guess what I’m getting at with my original question is, do brokerages work like middlemen that want a cut of the goods if they’re facilitating a transaction with a fund that isn’t their own?

Only if you are buying mutual funds that managed by a different brokerage. For ETFs, there is no fee

And separately, does the concept of “locking in losses” that happens if you sell stocks while they’re down, also apply if you switch funds for a 401k? I’m assuming so because tactically it’d require selling the current Fidelity funds and buying Vanguard ones in their place...

Company considers the woman a riskier bet due to possibility she’ll take maternity leave — and considers the man less risky for his ineligibility to take as much leave. 🤷

Hello Fishes,

I have 2 offers in hand currently -
1. CGI - 25LPA +1L JB
2. Neev systems - 23LPA (5%VP)

Neev systems is ready to negotiate it with CGI. And both companies have their own benefits.

Neev's hike is good compared to CGI(almost double) & CGI have some additional perks like cab facility, Creche allowance, mobile, internet bills reimbursements and additional 5% shares.

Both might have similar WLB (12-9pm).

My DOJ is tomorrow, unable to decide between them. Pls help me!!

What I’m struggling with is whether I should invest that money into the stock market (thinking less risky S&P 500 ETF) and pay off my student loans monthly with the average payment being around 1000 so I can pay it off in about 16-18 months (due to interest being around 5%) or pay it off all in one go?
