[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are nearly identical. They are packaged differently. One is a mutual fund which is purchased once the price is set at the end of the day. The other is an ETF which can be bought anytime the stock market is open. Sometimes there are more fees for buying one over the other. My simple answer for you in this setting is not to worry too much about it. They are both good. An ETF is perhaps a better choice in terms of fees. In the end they will do the same thing at nearly the same cost.[/quote] This is all pretty accurate but the difference in fees is very small— it might be $20 a year on a $100k investment (and you don’t have to pay bid/ask spread as you do for VTI). Anyway I agree it’s not worth worrying about and the nice thing is if you own VTSAX at Vanguard you can always convert it to VTI later if you want [/quote]
