A Roth IRA -- February 19, 2025

Olivia's 2024, W-2 statement: earnings, $XXXXX.

For Olivia, my recommendation: Vanguard Admiral shares.

Link: https://investor.vanguard.com/investment-products/mutual-funds/profile/vfiax

Ticker symbol: VFIAX.

Balanced, large equity fund.

Minimum: $3,000 to open. Olivia earned more than enough to open a Vanguard Roth IRA.

Papa will send you a check to fully fund this Roth IRA. With some left over. Insert smile here.

Top ten holdings:


You can type in "ticker vfiax" in the Google search box and this will pop up:


How to remember the ticker symbol:

Vanguard Fund Index Admiral Mutual Fund

All mutual fund ticker symbols are five letters long.

The fifth letter is always an "X" to designate it's a "mutual fund."

The first four letters are unique to the fund. 
 

So, Vanguard Fund Index Admiral - VFIA .... and then VFIAX.

 Lower case / upper case does not matter when typing in the URL/google search.

 

So, again, type in:  ticker vfiax.

Also interestingly enough, you don't even have to type in that much. You can simply type in vfiax.
