Mutual funds bought in the 1990s often charge fees about ten times higher than modern ETFs, significantly reducing investor returns. Three ETFs—Schwab U.S. Broad Market ETF (SCHB), iShares Core MSCI Total International Stock ETF (IXUS), and Fidelity High Dividend ETF (FDVV)—provide diversified, low-cost alternatives covering U.S. stocks, international markets, and dividend income. However, selling legacy mutual funds in taxable accounts can trigger large capital gains taxes, so investors should consider tax-efficient strategies like selling within IRAs, spreading sales over years, or donating shares. These ETFs offer a cost-effective core portfolio for future growth and income without the high fees of older funds.
