Pros
Low-cost mutual funds allow me to have country exposure at a lower expense ratio.

Cannot trade during the day - trades are based on closing prices at end of the day - issue with all mutual funds.

Based on fund performance and personal service received over the years, when I retired I chose to roll over my investments to a Vanguard-managed IRA, and they made it easy to do so.
Cons
Their website and mobile app could both be improved for greater user utility.

It is very easy to use as a service, especially for those that aren’t as familiar.

The setup process was a little challenging as they could not connect to my bank to receive the transfer of investable funds.
