Pros and cons of emaxis slim vs vanguard etf

[printingmoney]

Well said, in addition there are lots of free points to be had with trusts. Along with the benefits of automating purchases easily.

In Japan most mutual funds winout over ETFs.

If you are married to American ETFs Monex has a DRIP program that would make the dividends less painful.

Fair point. How about the fees though? Emaxis slim all-country fees are about 0.3% versus 0.03% for VTi. Only this particular factor makes me think

Where are you getting that figure? The fee is 0.1144%.

Also apples and orange. You would need to compare to VT not VTI.

There is an Emaxis Slim S&P500 you could compare to VOO directly.

ah right, for some reason I missed this. Thanks for pointing it out!
