1. I'm leaving Vanguard

They've changed their website to add brokerage accounts, and made the info on their funds, to my eye, difficult to find. There are so many management companies running their funds, including Vanguard companies. I am not finding much discernment between their funds. Large caps and mid cap blends, and target funds, and index galore. You want an average return, go for indexing. You'll grow with the economy.

Some other companies still have real fund managers, people you can see and identify, and know their background. They tell you their strategy for the fund. They've been their for decades.

As to whether you're any better off with or without Quants, Algo management, or if those run the whole market now, it's still a debate.
