VTI is structured as a separate share class of Vanguard Total Stock Market Index mutual fund.
“Holding a total-market index fund is more efficient than holding separate funds for large-cap and small-cap exposure because the broad fund requires less turnover as stocks move up and down in size,” Rawson notes. “VTI is an ideal fund for passive investors who believe in the benefits of index investing, as well as for active investors who wish to follow a core-and-explore approach. Few equity funds are as diversified as VTI.”
