Default Re: Index fund decision: Vanguard or Fidelity Target Retirement
The Vanguard Target Retirement fund is clearly better than the Fidelity fund. The $75 may be worth it depending on your investment sum and time-frame. Jeff W brings up a good point: you may be able to duplicate the Vanguard Target Retirement Fund with Fidelity funds. Fidelity's Spartan funds are comparable to Vanguard's funds - they are also extremely cheap. In fact, FSIIX (foreign) and FSTMX (total US) are better than the corresponding Vanguard funds in tax-deferred accounts.
