Well the Fidelity S&P 500 index has an expense ratio of .015% which is lower than most ETFs, even beats Vanguard's fee of .04%.In Canada we have some newish asset allocation etfs that are literally one ticker, and all you need. They hold 10,000+ stocks (and some bonds if desired) from around the world are simply meant for someone to buy and hold until retirement without having to rebalance different etfs over time.
Vanguard, Blackrock and BMO all have five different etfs varying from 100% equities, to 80/20 equities/bonds, all the way down to 20/80. The MERs are cheap, roughly 0.24%.
Does something like this exist in the US?
