HI,
Hey all here, I have 10k burning a hole in my pocket and wanted to start up a taxable account. The two main contenders are VTSMX, and Primecap Core, so could someone explain to me tax wise why VTSMX would be the better fund to purchase? I think primecap core would be the better large cap fund, but apparently VTSMX's tax advantages make it the better buy? Can someone help me here?

There are no inherent tax advantages to owning an index fund. Like poker, it all depends.
