It’s no secret that Vanguard, Fidelity and Charles Schwab could be considered three of the most popular and well-known brokerage firms. Each offers a wide range of products and services, from banking and investment products to financial advisors and financial planning services. Research suggests people who work with a financial advisor feel more at ease about their finances and could end up with about 15% more money to spend in retirement.1 However, when it comes to choosing one, there are some important differences, from fees to financial services to research resources, each of which could impact your customer experience. [Learn how these firms stack up](~/AAS9swA~/RgRnYBMIP0R4aHR0cHM6Ly90cmFjay5kYWlseXN0b2NrbW92ZXJzLmNvbS9jYW1wYWlnbnMvcmswODV2ejl5dzE3OS90cmtjbGsvemMxNTMyOTk3azhhYS8yZWRiZmIzMGNjMzgyNjc0ZjBhYjlhMmE1MTdhNjE2Zjg1MjdjNDY1VwNzcGNCCmV8CY59ZZOjAeNSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjg3QGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~) so you can decide on the appropriate fit for you. Overview of Vanguard vs. Fidelity vs. Schwab Vanguard made a name for itself by creating and offering low-fee investment products such as mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs). It still does this, and even non-Vanguard clients can buy Vanguard funds via a brokerage account. The firm has grown to now offer non-proprietary investment products and funds. Fidelity is perhaps best known for its personal investment products, namely brokerage accounts that allow users to trade stocks. Clients can invest in a wide range of stocks, bonds and other investment products using a Fidelity brokerage account. Fidelity also makes an effort to provide investment resources to its clients and doesn’t usually charge fees on all trades, though more and more brokerages and broker-dealers are moving toward fee-free investment models. Schwab has a number of passively and actively managed funds that you can invest your money into. You also have the option to trade individual equities. It also offers free robo-advisor services, and those who want to work with a human advisor will have that option as well. Want to know how the fees break down?
