Vanguard's VTSAX is an ETF that buys the whole Stock market (more or less, at least a representative portion). By definition that includes smaller high risk companies.
- dlubarov 11y agoSlight correction: VTSAX is a mutual fund; VTI is the corresponding ETF. I agree that it's an excellent choice though -- easy diversification, very low expenses, low turnover. VT (which includes foreign stocks) is also worth considering for extra diversification.
- cpfohl 11y agoGreat point. I group VTI, VTSAX, and VTSMX all together in my head; with Vanguard the differences between Vanguard branded ETFs and MFs aren't really that noticeable if you're just buying and holding. Thanks for clarifying my suggestion, though!
