Vanguard Target date index fund/Brokerage acct

#1

Quick question - I looked through Jeremy’s IG but didn’t see the answer (may have missed it). With
that unusual thing that Vanguard did with TDIF/taxable brokerage accounts (where they paid out capital gains) - is that still the “best”/easiest/safest option for investing in my brokerage account, or is there a different index fund or other fund I can invest that $ in where I can basically set it & forget it?

In the past I just would’ve thrown all my $ into a TDIF, but I don’t know if the advice has changed for that when going through Vanguard.

Jeremy’s advice is to

  1. Take advantage of tax-advantaged accounts
  2. Mimic a TDF using the three fund portfolio with Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs)

Thanks for linking the article! We already max out our IRA’s, 401k, and HSA - so I’ll read up on the 3 fund ETF strategy now. Thank you!
