Hello All,
I hope everyone is doing well in the new year, physically and financially.
The reason for this post is that I'm unsure of the where to go from an investment standpoint. Currently I have a Roth IRA with Fidelity (FFFIX) and my 401k is with Vanguard - VFINX 23%, VEXPX 6%, VWIGX 19%, VIMSX 11%, VPMCX 12%, VBMFX 17%, VWNFX 12%.
Other than that, most of my income is accumulating in a online savings account at my bank earning a modest 4.00%. I've always been interested into jumping into the investment world but with my risk-adverse/lazy personality, it's been on the back-burner of tomorrow and low an behold it's been a few years - now I'm 26. My friends have been advising me to invest in a mutual fund - index, noting my personality (lazy/carefree), so I'm taking the initiative this year to get started.
To get straight to the point my question is - if I'm interested in investing in a index fund, which fund company would be right for me (offers better variety?)? Should I stick with the one's I already have an account with (Fidelity/Vanguard) or should I look into others (T Rowe Price, etc.)? Do you know of any particular index funds that you recommend I look into?
I know the questions are more on a personally level than analytical, but I just wanted to get some kind of input from those who have more experience dealing with ____ fund family.
Thank you for taking the time to read and reply to my post.
