VPU=?(Fido) [Vanguard Utilities ETF]

Post by ekid »

I looked at FSUTX. It seems to be very inactive, tiny.

I wouldn't insist on an ETF but my choice should be competitive w/ Vanguard offering. I need to complete my HSA investment. (Too much cash in it)

What about FUTY = FIDELITY MSCI UTILITIES INDEX ETF?

Your HSA is at Fidelity? How about FSKAX/FTIHX for mutual funds or ITOT/IXUS for ETFs. Those are the core components of the 3 fund portfolio recommended strongly around here.

Why not just buy VPU? You can buy any ETF you want in your Fido HSA.

I don't think most here would agree with the OP's premise that sector bets are needed to complete anyone's HSA investment.

"... premise that sector bets (not) needed to complete anyone's HSA investment."

Good point. I have a large holding in S/P500 (VG) already; also high dividend yield MF. <Those are not HSA holdings. Half my HSA is in FTIHX, as Wetgear suggests.
I don't wanna 'spend' it all in one place.

I have yet to look at FUTY.

Agree with this diversification principle. But I do not see how overweighting a particular sector is increasing your diversification.
