Best brokerage company?

Hi! Completely new to investing. From experience, please give advice if it matters which company to open my IRA account with? Does it matter? Thanks!!

Hi Chrissy! I’d say the big three brokerages are:

  • Vanguard
  • Fidelity
  • Schwab

Between those three none will make you more rich than any of the others. They all offer the same type of great low-fee index funds. The differences really boil down to user interface, customer support, and the types of products they offer. I’m always glad to see someone go with Vangaurd due to their more altruistic business model, and I personally use Fidelity because I’ve used it for many years and I like their customer support and range of products (like an HSA you can invest in!)
