ETFs have the amenity that allows you to trade them like stocks. Mutual funds don’t have this amenity and thus makes their fees slightly less expensive. If you won’t be actively trading and are adopting a long term strategy, you can go for the mutual funds and save yourself the extra monies.

Mutual funds are actually generally more expensive. The difference in index funds is usually slight and not enough to make a difference. It is due to less administrative work because the fund company is not dealing with purchases and redemptions. The fidelity zero funds are an exception and can only be held at fidelity

It makes no difference. Whichever you prefer. VTI and VTSAX are different classes of the same fund. For a taxable brokerage account, etfs are a little more tax efficient( except for some vanguard fund). My tax advantaged accounts, Ira and HSA are in mutual funds and I have mostly ETFs in my brokerage account but if you prefer one platform over the other, it won’t make a difference

I believe VTSAX is more tax efficient.

It should be the same as VTI. Mutual funds are generally a little let efficient, except for some vanguard mutual funds

Taxpayers are abused the most in this country across the globe. It’s frustrating to see that only 1.5% of Indian population pay direct income tax, still govt. is milking them like anything and unable to do anything for these taxpayers. I’m paying 1 lakh tax every month, and what’s my return, 🔔🔔🔔,

If a tax payer loses his job , govt. is not even paying even few thousands for unemployment allowance, who have been paying lacs to government as tax. What’s your thoughts on Indian taxation?
