I'm pretty comfortable trusting vanguard, but I still might give them a call before starting our Roth IRA. Thanks for your hard work! I hope you get fair compensation. Just to let you know who's reading your blog: twenty-something, married, last year of a masters, training to be a Christian pastor, looking forward to some sort of an income...

It's a bit higher than you'd pay for, say, the 500 Index fund but that's because other underlying funds (Emerging Markets, etc) have higher fees associated with them. It appears to be sort of an average of the underlying classes, and is probably at least as low as you could achieve by buying the different funds separately. That being said, I'm not 100% sure on this. Ryan: It might vary from fund to fund, but my understanding of the Vanguard offerings is that there is one fee.

Are there two layers of expenses? As in, the expenses of the target fund itself and of all the funds contained within? (cuz that would be a lot of expenses, some being quite hidden) Hey Nickel,

Could you explain the expense ratios of target dated funds? Are there two layers of expenses? As in, the expenses of the target fund itself and of all the funds contained within?
(cuz that would be a lot of expenses, some being quite hidden)
