The Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund Investor Shares (VTSMX) is among the largest funds in the world, as its strategy has attracted investors of all disciplines. VTSMX launched in 1992 and focuses on the broad U.S. equity market. That includes allocations to large-cap, mid-cap, small-cap, and growth and value stocks from various sectors. Its excellent diversity makes it a prime candidate as a core building block in any portfolio, as it offers key equity exposure that is essential for any long-term strategy. The fund also boasts an expense ratio of just 17 basis points with no load fees, putting it among the cheaper products on the market. One of the reasons that VTSM is able to maintain such a low expense ratio is that it is not actively managed, but rather tracks the Vanguard Total Stock Market Index.
Best of all, VTSMX has a minimum investment threshold of just $3,000, making it accessible to just about every investor that wishes to buy in. The fund’s portfolio composition can be viewed at any time on Vanguard’s website, including top stock holdings, sector breakdown, risk potential, performance metrics, and more.
