re: Vanguard vs Fidelity vs others for Roth IRA

Overview: Top Roth IRA accounts in February 2020:

Charles Schwab: Best overall.

Betterment: Best robo-adviser.

Fidelity: Best for beginners.

Interactive Brokers: Best for active traders.

: Best for alternative investments.

Vanguard: Best for low costs.

Merrill Edge: Best for in-person help.

I don’t have a preference either way. I’m currently contributing my max that my company matches $1 for $1 the first 6% at work in my 401K and I’m looking at opening up a Roth when I get my yearly bonus in May ($15,000 +) this year so I’m doing research now. Good luck.


For simplicity purposes would it be better to open a Roth through the company (Merrill) that my company uses for its 401K or look into using a different company. I’m just wondering if it’s better to keep everything in house with the same company or use different ones for a range of investing options and investments.


Anyone here have experience using USAA for investing
