I usually only have a few etfs in my Portfolio . mostly ones that pay a Dividend but now own many for growing tech exposure. JTEK, DRAM, SOXX , CIBR and now AIS thanks to this thread.

My brokerage won’t let me buy mutual funds unless I’m over 65 years old.
I'm not over 65 but MF's have a place. Especially for a person that is overly obsessive about putting all money to work. Say I have 50k to invest and I buy VTI at $369, I'm going to have some change left over. That drives me crazy. A MF will invest the total dollar amount so no left over detritus. I'm with Schwab and you cannot purchase fractional shares although they do allow it for dividends.

What ETFs should i look at
VTI
VXUS
BND
At whatever allocation you deem appropriate. You could sub VTI/VXUS for VT if you like Vanguard's US/International allocation.
Buy the market. No need to gamble.

My son, who works for a big wealth management & investment platform company, just recommended BAI to me. AI-centric.

What are the benefits of getting into one with a high minimum?
As far as Admiral shares, they offer lower expense ratios... I'd imagine the high minimum is Vanguard ensuring the $$$ there will offset the reduced expense ratio concessions.

I work for a major wealth management company and assuming you already have the staples: S&P, value, and technology (SPYM, VOOV, and QQQM are my favs) we are pushing 2 high growth ETF’s right now.
1. VGT- as others have mentioned- no major ETF has done better recently.
2. IVES - home office loves as much as VGT, it’s an AI ETF.
Not endorsed by corporate but my fav the last couple of years is SPMO. The MO stands for momentum, it tracks the S&P but weighs the hot stocks more heavily.
SPMO and XMMO do the same thing with small and mid caps.
