What is the benefit of investing in mutual funds such as VTSAX over a similar ETF other than reoccurring investments that allow you to set it and forget it? Is that why people choose them?

I really think that is about it. Some people prefer to be able to buy and sell it throughout the day so they like etfs. Others like the ability to make recurring purchases and therefore mutual funds. VTSAX and VTI will perform the same. It is just a matter of preference

like

Vtsax fees are suppppper low, hence why people go with it

They are about the same or lower than the mutual fund. VTI is the etf for VTSAX

Hey fishes, can someone tell me how the 80c bracket works, i know i can get exempt upto 1.5lakh under it, what i wanna know is does PF comes under it or not?
