Vanguard

Vanguard is great! My dad had stocks in Vangaurd and I inherited his IRA and another account. I have found that Vangaurd is great at investing my one account. It is growing. I have spoke with many customer service representatives over the past 6 yrs and every one of them have been amazing! Very helpful knowledgeable and kind. My experience with VangUrd has been exceptional.

Very easy to use app for the stock market. One observation is that the learning curve is a little steep. They offer a lot of customer service documentation in their website, which makes it process a bit easier. For some reason, I always feel that their mobile and web experiences are lacking and always go back to Fidelity. It is not to insinuate that they are not good overall experiences, I just feel that it could be more stable and polished as well as fast.

Vanguard offers a versatile online trading platform. It is cost effective with low fees for trades. I used it with full confidence that trade transactions were safe, timely, and legitimate. They also offer a multitude of trading tools to help sort through many trading options. Excellent financial portal overall!

This takes a little time to understand but once you get the hang of it Vanguard really shines. I did not know anything about the stock market and now with Vangaurd I have a pretty good portfolio that I created.

I trust Vanguard and love how I can simultaneously monitor all my accounts, while not feeling overwhelmed. I find the website secure and feel comfortable navigating through it.

Stick trading is important to me. I enjoy the way the broker breaks it down and help me make the right decisions. Cost of trading at first no I didn't like it, but it all works out in the end. Just how it should be.

BEWARE OF INVESTING WITH VANGUARD On each of the following, Vanguard replaced my proposed investments with another generating little or no interest. With each I complained and asked to speak with a manager. Despite having very significant investments, Vanguard refused. Do not trust them with your money! , My mother had over $500,000 in various investments. She passed at the age of 97. During her later years, when she became less savvy, Vanguard put some of her money in an essentially non-interest bearing account. They took advantage of her age and physical condition and refused to address their actions. My mother passed on 10/20. Four times I submitted the required paperwork to forward her investments in my name. I spent hours and over a year before they FINALLY included her investments with mine, as required by law. I invested $500,000 in 5 accounts. I indicated this in both a formal application and a telephone conversation. Two months later, my statement indicated that it was put in a non-interest bearing accountVanguard refused my request to speak with a manager, and to provide some restitution. Once again, Vanguard refused my request to speak with a manager, and to provide some restitution.    4. On 12/27/2022 I called. I asked to invest $100,000 in Delta Airlines stock. The stock was selling at $32 a share. My statement indicated my investment instead was      put on a Vanguard money market fund. I called, and was told this was a "settlement fund." Vanguard refused my efforts to speak with a manager, and lied to me stating      their tapes did not indicate any Delta investment. I complained to FINRA. They admitted that I was told my investment in Delta was complete, and reluctantly backdated   my investment. Of course, they offered neither an apology, nor an explanation. Vanguard has never allowed me to speak with a senior official despite my repeated requests. I have made requests for the taped conversations. Of course these requests were refused. It is apparent that Vanguard uses every opportunity to defraud their investors.

Horrible experience dealing with Vanguard in transferring an IRA fund after my father's death. It's taken multiple mailings and several phone calls, and after six months still isn't complete. The same transaction at Ameritrade's brick and mortar office was done in an hour by their very competent staff. They may or may not be skilled portfolio managers, but do you your beneficiaries a huge favor and invest elsewhere.

I've been using Vanguard for a few years now and the website is very easy and simple to use. It has made it easy to keep track of everything.

Vanguard is a place to find and compare good mutual funds with ease. They often have some interesting options in-house.
