Default Re: Mutual Fund Companies - Any Reason You Need More Than One?

Vanguard is fine, Fidelity is fine, but Schwab? Why?

OP, I personally prefer having all my brokerage accounts at one place. It's easier to maintain/monitor that way, and you usually get more personalized service and lower fees the larger balance you have. I have little experience with T. Rowe Price, but I am with Vanguard -- the service is good, the expenses are rock bottom, and I like their philosophies. If it were my accounts, I would consolidate them at Vanguard for that reason.

As far as Vanguard vs. Fidelity, it's like Coke vs. Pepsi, thin crust vs. deep dish, PC vs. Mac. My personal opinion is that there is very little difference between them. You would do well with either one.
