A few weeks ago, I talked about a 2021 financial portfolio re-assessment. As a result of that post, I looked into the various domestic Vanguard mutual funds that would be good long term investment. This table below lists these mutual funds divided by market capitalization and stock types. I included a dividend option for those investors that are looking for companies that consistently pay dividends to shareholders. In addition, I found this “Total Market” fund which exposes investors to the market including large, mid and small cap stocks. Even though these are Vanguard stocks, other financial institutions like Fidelity/Schwab/Etrade will also offer similar mutual funds. As an investor, more research is needed to find the equivalent non-Vanguard fund at these intuitions.
Here’s the table:
Market Cap | Growth | Value | Blend | Dividend | Total Market |
Large Cap | VIGAX (Admiral) VUG (ETF) | VVIAX (Admiral) VTV (ETF) | VFIAX (Admiral) VOO (ETF) | VHYAX (Admiral) VEIPX (Admiral) VYM (ETF) | VTSAX (Admiral) VTI (ETF) |
Mid Cap | VMGMX (Admiral) VOT (ETF) | VMVAX (Admiral) VOE (ETF) | VIMAX (Admiral) VO (ETF) | VEXEX (Admiral) VXF (ETF) *No S&P 500 stocks | |
Small Cap | VSGAX (Admiral) VBK (ETF) | VSIAX (Admiral) VBR (ETF) | VSMAX (Admiral) VB (ETF) |
After making this table, the distribution of my retirement accounts are much clearer to me now. I have adjusted my portfolio to invest in large, mid and small cap mutual funds focused around growth, blend and dividend.
