VOO and VTI
Pretty much all you need

VOO and VTI are both excellent choices, but they are ETFs. They are traded differently than mutual funds.

You are technically correct.
VFIAX and VTSAX if you must use mutual funds, as they have identical structure as voo and vti. The ETFs have slightly lower fees

FTEC. That is all for me for the foreseeable future. Once I get closer to retirement I may move some into VOO or VTI, but the broad market is not experiencing gains at the same level as concentrated tech stocks since the internet and now A.I.

FXAIX is my go to mutual fund.
There are ETF that I prefer over it, but if you're locked in on a mutual fund, that's where I land.

Likely won’t experience similar losses in a correction, either.

Perhaps. But FTEC is up 991% since inception in 2013. VTI is up about 307% in the same time. Been waiting on this often predicted correction since the inception date in 2013 and really since 2010. Absent a few months for Covid, it hasn’t happened. So, the massive gains over the last 13 years will still outpace the broad market by a wide margin in the long run even if the market correction gets priced in.
At a 50% fall in FTEC from current levels, it would still significantly outpace the broad market if the broad market did not drop at all. It seems unlikely tech will fall 50% if the broad market does not fall at all, but even if that did happened, tech will almost certainly recover at a more rapid rate than the broader market.

The 2000s were brutal for tech. It was all energy, metals, value etc with a weakening dollar. Not saying we’re going to replay that exactly but these things run in long cycles and it’s worth keeping in mind.

I like BKLC and FNILX, both are large cap and free of fees and it's gross and net expense ratio is 0.00. Both perform well, FNILX has slightly better returns, BKLC has a slightly better dividend. Returns compared to FXAIX are pretty much the same, so performance wise there's no true difference going with any of them.
There are others that I like such as FTEC and SMH if you're looking for tech and semiconductor growth oriented funds. But those aren't really the same profile as FXAIX. Other ones that I like are pretty commonly discussed on the board.
