Fidelity's FXAIX fund has lower fees but higher tax costs than Vanguard's VOO ETF in taxable accounts.

Fidelity's FXAIX mutual fund, while boasting a very low expense ratio of 0.015%, incurs higher tax costs due to quarterly capital gains distributions, especially in taxable accounts. Over six years, FXAIX returned 149.67%, slightly less than Vanguard's VOO ETF at 150.03%, which benefits from a tax-efficient ETF structure that avoids capital gains distributions. FXAIX is ideal for retirement accounts like IRAs and 401(k)s where tax drag is irrelevant, but taxable investors may prefer VOO despite its higher 0.03% fee for better after-tax returns. Both track the S&P 500, but the choice depends on account type and tax considerations.
