I've been extremely happy with Charles Schwab.

I have my checking, savings, ROTH IRA, rollover 401K IRA, Brokerage, etc there.

If you're going to actively trade within your Roth, then Fidelity. If not, then Vanguard, Fidelity, Charles Scwhab are all fine.

I've really enjoyed being with Vanguard. I'm a pretty small potatoes investor as I'm young in my career but I've felt like they've been very helpful and given me the time to answer any questions I've had. I also like their online interface.

I like Vanguard investment products but they aren't a great financial services company. Fidelity or Charles Scwhab are though.

So get the best of both worlds. Use Fidelity/Charles Schwab and use Vanguard ETFs. That's what I do with most of my portfolio (I use Fidelity). Also, Fidelity now has zero cost funds and lets u trade many of iShares ETF for free.

I’ve used several investment products from fidelity and haven’t been happy with any of them. I got rid of my last one.
In order of what I use and like I would say it’s
Vanguard
American Century
E*TRADE
Merrill Lynch
And I use AIG but don’t like it very much.

Schwab's free intelligent portfolio manager IRA would be my first choice if I was just starting out.

I've got Merrill Lynch accounts and WellsTrade accounts. ML's website is tedious AF. Wells Fargo is simple to use and easy to analyze your performance and position. I'm getting ready to move all my assets to Wells Fargo.

I have Ally and Vanguard and am happy with both but use them in different ways.

Go with fidelity. Their app is so much better than vanguards. Vanguards app feels like I time traveled back to 2007.

I use both and am fine with both. The wells platform is indeed much more simplistic. Merrill is easy to use, but there’s a lot going on.
