FYI: Chances are, a total stock market index fund could be—and probably should be—the largest part of your portfolio. Indexing the entire market is the favorite strategy of efficient-market theorists, but even adherents of active management generally advocate for a core holding in a broad-market index fund. Expense ratios are the most reliable predictor of future performance, and a total stock market fund can essentially guarantee you won’t trail the market. And with the recent launch of the 0% expense ratio Fidelity ZERO Total Market Index fund, such indexing is now free.
