Which brokerage account is better to invest in S&P funds? I have my 401k in Vanguard but not a fan of the user interface. So, considering whether to open one more or tolerate Vanguard. Suggestions?

How often are you changing your funds? Just set up an automatic investment every pay period and forget about it, easiest way to save and invest

If investing for long term, interface really shouldn't matter. I like to keep my accounts with one broker just for simplicity, and being able to see all my balances in one place. If you are an active trader, I heard Fidelity is good but then, I doubt you'd be investing in index funds.

The interface isn’t any kind of reason to switch

TDAmeritrade and there ThinkorSwim toolset is the industry best if you are an active investor/ Trader. Standard Tda if you just want free ETF trades.

Interface keeps me from obsessively checking the balance which is a good thing.

Recently switched jobs and need advice on 401K.

1) I have both Roth and traditional 401K. Can't change traditional 401K to Traditional IRA as I backdoor Roth and it complicates things.
2) does it make sense to move Roth 401 to Roth IRA to save on fees / have more options?
3) what would you invest in?

Current allocation:
FID 500 index (FXAIX): 58%,
FID Target 2055: 26%,
FID growth CO K6 (FGKFX): 12%,
FID bond - 4%

Just started a new job and after doing some research found out they do not offer a Roth 401k. My choices are limited to a traditional 401k or After-Tax Contributions. After speaking with a friend who’s a CFP, he suggested I contribute only to the After-Tax, but I wanted to validate that advice here. If it helps I’m 24 and my current base is around 110k. Thanks in advance!
