Vanguard’s Total Stock Market Index Fund Admiral Shares charges 0.04% annually, undercutting peers by nearly 96% on a $100,000 balance.
Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund Admiral Shares (VTSAX) charges a 0.04% annual expense ratio, equating to $40 per year on a $100,000 investment. The fund, tracking the CRSP US Total Market Index, has amassed $424.565 billion in net assets since its November 13, 2000 inception.
The fund’s fee structure contrasts sharply with industry averages, where a 1% expense ratio would cost investors $1,000 annually on the same balance. VTSAX is passively managed, holding thousands of U.S. stocks, with a 36% concentration in tech mega-caps like NVIDIA, Apple, and Microsoft.
Despite its broad market label, the fund’s top holdings mirror a tech-heavy portfolio, though sector weights were not individually disclosed in Vanguard’s latest fact sheet.
