I’m working on my side project which is building a broswer based multiplayer DAW. It’s been about a tyear since I started working on it. Started with a keyboard that had a simple built in synth. It’s been a lot of fun to make, learning stuff from building sequencers, polyphonic synths, and web socket stuff :D. I hope to use it as my main DAW eventually, and will still finish up tracks in Ableton probably. I hope it will be a useful tool for people to get songs started and do it with other people.


Have you seen the vanguard ETFs in Robinhood? Would those be just as good as using the funds directly with vanguard?


Yes, better because the minimum is $0 not $10,000.

It's not as good as Betterment/Wealthfront/Hedgeable because you can't rebalance, reinvest dividends, or get fractional shares.


Important to note that when purchasing ETFs through Vanguard the minimum investment amount is the cost of a single share. No large minimum amounts such as the $3000 or $10000 with their mutual funds.


Vanguard has a full robo-advisor which has more assets under management than all fintech robo-advisors combined.


Vanguard has no robo advisor. There is a human advisor involved


You can rebalance and reinvest dividends at Vanguard.


Does the amount of dividend need to be the cost of one share?

If so, with VTI trading at $140, you would need about 250 shares to buy a share with each dividend.


No, they allow fractional shares. Source: https://investor.vanguard.com/investing/brokerage-dividend-r...

"When reinvesting dividends, Vanguard Brokerage Services combines the cash distributions from the accounts of all clients who have requested reinvestment in the same security, and then uses that combined total to purchase additional shares of the security in the open market. Vanguard Brokerage will attempt to purchase the reinvestment shares by entering a market order at the market opening on the payable date. The new shares are divided proportionately among the clients' accounts, in whole and fractional shares rounded to three decimal places. If the total purchase can't be completed in one trade, clients will receive shares purchased at the weighted average price paid by Vanguard Brokerage Services."


Most ETFs support DRIP and the dividends reinvestment happens at the fund level.


Dividend reinvestment for ETFs happens at the brokerage level, not at the fund level. You can see this because some brokers don't support reinvestment in the same ETFs.


No.


> You can rebalance and reinvest dividends at Vanguard.

Right. I mean you can't do this on Robinhood.


Website seems to be having issues. Connection is timing out. Would like to see what you did with it. I agree that wikipedia could use a redesign.


Sorry you're having trouble with the site. I just tried visiting and it loads ok at my end.

Here's a direct link to one of the designs (PNG image: the file is quite large at 2.7mb)
