Can anyone recommend a mutual fund company I am looking for some index funds with a low maintenance fee?


Can anyone recommend a mutual fund company I am looking for some index funds with a low maintenance fee?

There are clearly two leaders in this field:

- http://www.vanguard.com
- http://www.fidelity.com

The $20 annual maintenance fee for Vanguard funds is waived if you sign up for their e-mail delivery of statements. I don't know why anyone wouldn't do this.

Vanguard and Fidelity have the industries lowest fees for index funds. Around 0.20% or less.

I have to agree with Dennis. Fidelity and Vanguard are the best.
You may get lower expenses in your 401K. Most of the index funds in my 401K have expense ratios of .02%.

dennis is 100% correct....vanguard and fidelity...they have the lowest costs and the widest selection out there and the most helpful staff...you cannot go wrong with either of these

I used to say Vanguard also, but they instituted a $20 maintenance fee on index funds. On a $2,000 investment, that's 1% per year!

Sorry, but they no longer meet my criteria for people with under $30,000 to invest.

You may be better off paying a $8 trading commission on line and purchasing an ETF.
