Best Vanguard Index Funds For 2021 (Easiest Way To Invest)
Index funds are the best investment path for most people. Its passive approach, low fees, and instant diversification make it very hard to beat. I found myself as a beginner looking to Index Funds to help me get my feet wet and still use them as the backbone of my portfolio today.
In this video I will go through exactly what an index fund is for people that may be new to them as well as some of the most popular Vanguard Index Funds and ETFs.
The first fund we will look at The Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund. This is a Passively Managed Index Fund that tracks the progress of the total stock market. This is the perfect beginner investment. It gives you exposure to all the stocks inside the stock market which also gives you massive diversification, not only in the United States, but abroad as well through companies indirect exposure. It does come with a minimum investment and will have associated fees if purchased ousted the vanguard platform. To avoid this you will want to look into its identical EFT which is VTI.
Now if you’re looking to be a little bit more on the safer side a little less volatility because you’re getting a little bit older you might want to have something like Vanguard’s Total Bond Market Index fund it has expense ratio of 0.05 percent. It has a minimum investment of three thousand dollars and it invests in US investment grade bonds. About thirty percent of those being corporate bonds and seventy percent of those being US governmental bonds. A question I get all the time is how much of the the total stock market fund and the bond fund is how much should I have, percentage wise, in my portfolio. It is really up to you. At my age, I don’t have anything in bonds right now, but if you weren’t sure there is something called the Vanguard Balanced Index fund (VBIAX). It does not have
an ETF, but what it does is it is have a blend of stocks and bonds. Right now it has about 60%
inside stocks and 40% in bonds. If you are looking for the ETF for the Bond index it is BND.
Lastly, Is the Vanguard Growth Index Fund (VIGAX). What it does is it track companies that are
more likely to grow more quickly right now and in the near future. That’s pretty much the technology
sector. It has an ER of .05% and it has an investment minimum of $3,000. Its ETF is VUG.

If Vanguard ever goes under there will be riots in the streets
So, let me get this right because I’m new at this. You purchase vtsax for the 3000 either as part of your Roth IRA or stand alone purchase right from your brokerage account? Than you constantly add money to this vtsax account, building it larger and larger, correct?
How much is a good amount to add to your Vtsax? Can I add 200.00 per week into it? Same with ETF’s?
I just do VTI and VOO for funds.
Great info! So is there any advantage to buying the $3K minimum of an Index Fund VS. $3K shares of an ETF?
Hi Brad, new subscriber and new investor how did you go about getting VTSAX did you put all the $3000 at once or little by little. Do you have a video on how you started investing with Vanguard? Would love to hear how you got started.
hi Thank you so much for your content! really appreciate all the info. Do you recommend adding the index fund within your ira portfolio or should i purchase these funds separately so that i can add more to the fund with no max contribution limit?
This was SUPER helpful. Thank you so much!
Excellent video!
Great video!
Thank you for sharing.
Very well explained
Are there fees for vanguard etfs for cash app?
Great vid! Thank you!
Can I use vanguard IRA money to put into index fund?
Great Video!!! I would like to rollover over my retirement fund with vanguard. Would you suggest rolling over a 100k to one fund like VTSAX? Or should I structure it differently due to current market situations? Appreciate your suggestions!
Very good info<>Thanks<>Keep up the good work
I'm 25 and I'm just opening my vanguard account now I know there is a roth ira or just straight investing I dont plan on cashing out for a long time would you recommend I just straight invest in VTSAX or do it withing a roth ira? Thanks bro
Very well done.

If you invest in these market wide funds you will be crying when the eventual crash happens. This is a bad way to diversify. Right now you should be looking for investments that won’t make you poor when the inevitable crash happens.
How many shares of an ETF should we be purchasing?
This was really great and informative, thank you!
One thing I didn't quite understand. What is the advantage of having an index Fund over an index ETF? (like the VTSAX over the VTI). I understand the fund has the $3k minimum and the ETF doesn't. So what does the fund give you that the ETF doesn't? Thanks again.
I’m 26 years old and I just contributed 6k for my 2020 contribution into VTSAX. I’m ready to put another 6k into my Roth for my 2021 contribution my question to you is do you think their is any benefit to doing 6k into VFIAX or since VTSAX covers the same 500 companies it is not necessary and just keep adding to VTSAX? Thanks for your feedback!
So I’m 17 on a custodial account, I have 1,000$ in VOO, VOOG, and MK, RN, what should be my next step to invest in once I get get around 3,000$.
Awesome video! I’m 25 and in it for the long haul just like you. Do you think young investors can afford to invest 100% in VSTAX? And then add bonds later?
If I wanted to keep up with inflation (Hypothetically) which bond ETF would you buy?. I want a U.S. Treasury bonds index fund or ETF?
I know you're a vanguard guy but what do you think about a fxaix/ fsmax mix? I subbed to you.
I started an m1 finance and plan to do 80% vti, 10% bnd, 10% vxus.
On a side note where did you get that hoodie?
I have $50,000 in my company matched 401k should I put 100% into VTI right now I have 50% in RGAGX and 50% in VTI should I just go all in on VTI also I am 38
Brad I love how you give so much information and we are learning along with your process. Love how you share all this info you are learning. Keep the videos coming !
Can you tell me what conservative Vanguard fund you would recommend for someone close to 60 that doesn’t want to have wild swings?
Brad,….I haven't responded to any of your recent videos because you are moving into more ''puts,…options,…calls'' which I don't have an interest in ,…however,..my girlfriend has recently gotten serious about investing,…and has started with Vanguard. This video was OUTSTANDING!!!! and gave quite an overview of where she would like to put her money. I had recommended most of what you had,….but,….it was easy for her to understand as a novice investor.BTW,…..your speaking style is excellent. You never say ''you know,..its like,….umm,. I mean.I listen to Bloomberg radio all day while driving and some of their analysts speaking skills leave a lot to be desired. You are the man Brad.
Great video my dude, easy to understand and just what i was looking for!
I have enough to invest in VTSAX… should I do that or a mix of VTI and VOO?
Thanks I’m think I want to start investing you brake it up good I just want to learn more on the stocks
