Core holding in both my brokerage and Roth. Expense ratio is invisible and tracking error is basically zero over the years I've held it.

Who Core All-Share ETF fits — and who it doesn't

It is not the right pick for someone who needs a fundamentally different product from a total market index etf.

Great fund. Only reason it isn't five stars for me is that I'd like to see a developed-international sister product with the same fee structure.

Learn about etfs
Before opening an account with Core All-Share ETF, it helps to understand the category itself. The five short sections below explain how etfs work, who they suit, the main risks, where they fit in a plan, and the US regulatory rules.
ETFs in one paragraph
ETFs bundle hundreds or thousands of underlying assets into one ticker, giving you instant diversification with the trading flexibility of a stock.
What are ETFs?
An exchange-traded fund holds a portfolio of stocks, bonds, or other assets and issues shares that trade throughout the day. Most ETFs track an index, but active ETFs do exist.
Who they suit
Investors who want broad diversification at low cost, who value intra-day liquidity, and who don't want to pick individual securities themselves.
Key risks
ETFs are only as safe as what they hold. A leveraged or single-country ETF can be dramatically more volatile than a broad-market index ETF. Bid-ask spreads also matter for thinly traded funds.
Fit in a broader plan
A two- or three-ETF core (total US stock, total international stock, total bond) is sufficient for most retirement savers. Sector, factor, and thematic ETFs work as satellite holdings. Use tax-efficient ETFs in taxable accounts and reserve actively traded ETFs for tax-advantaged accounts.
US regulatory context
ETFs are SEC-registered investment companies, almost always under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The creation-redemption mechanism that keeps price close to net asset value is unique to ETFs and is one reason they tend to be more tax-efficient than mutual funds.
