Schwab vs. Vanguard for primary taxable investments — any thoughts? My checking is with Schwab so that was my first instinct, but my 401k is with vanguard.

You can’t go wrong with either.

All my investments are with Vanguard, so I’m partial to that. But given your 401k is already with them, why not just stay with them? Keep all your investments at one place. One login, one app.

Vanguard was previously disadvantaged as they still charged fees for stocks and non-Vanguard funds, but they just went no fee for transactions.

Checking is kind of irrelevant as it’s so easy to connect a checking account from any bank.

Schwab, Fidelity, and Vanguard are about to be the only options; Schwab is buying TD Ameritrade and many of the smaller ones will follow. USAA is giving up their brokerage and shifting it to Scwhwab.

There are alternative ETFs you can look at that still provide good return.

I also literally just started contributing to my 401K so I’m also late in the game for that too.
