Default Re: Vanguard 500 vs Vanguard Total

[ QUOTE ]
Total stock market is the most tax effecient mutual fund by definition because it owns the whole market.

Come on rock, I know you know this isn't true!

There are actually 3757 (as of 1/31) stocks in that fund
It had a turnover rate last year of 12%
Its Cap weighted, so its basically a large cap fund, with the top 10 holding representing 15.7% of asset value.

Vanguard Total Stock Market Holdings

What does tax efficiency have to do with what it owns??
