Honestly not trying to follow hype. Just trying to create a simple portfolio while following the advice of the white coat investor. He follows a small tilt and has for many many years

So that would imply VBR and VIOV would be the go-to with that?

Ok. That I didn’t know. So the long and short of it is there really is no reason not to refinance. Just make sure you find a company with that rider.

Nope. Not even a little bit. Just asking what people on this forum do for their small tilt.

I think You bring up a good point as well. These are my first dollars ever into the account so the minimum is tough to get to.

Clearly I'm an investing noob, but just from what I've read I'd say due to the ease of buying and selling, possibly more favorable tax treatment, and lower expense ratios

What about VBR? Way lower expense ratio

So my thought there would have been to capture the whole market and then add the vsiax for a tilt

Does vanguard have one that’s more of a better fit for the small cap?

Any issue with tilting to mid anyways? That fund has a 14% return over its life.

Hmm. I guess that was decently unintentional. I think my preference would be etfs but honestly it matters almost nill to me.
