Three Funds at Three Groups

Plus, a low-cost ETF portfolio and Two ETFs at Avantis

We have defaulted to Vanguard for quick, low-cost do-it-yourself portfolios for years. However, they are no longer the low-cost index leader. Two other mutual fund managers are giving Vanguard a serious run for the money: Fidelity and Schwab. Therefore, you should consider these other firms for your DIY portfolio.
