There was a trading scandal that rocked several big mutual fund companies a few years ago and it did have a big impact on the funds involved. I think that is unlikely at Vanguard or Fidelity but anything is possible. Honestly, I wouldn't make my investment decisions based on the fear that something like that might possibly happen sometime in the future.
I would just restate what I said earlier. The reason I invest with multiple fund companies is to get the best funds. I have a lot of money with Vanguard, but I also have a lot of money with other companies that offer better performing funds in particular categories.
