BlackRock/BLK has been TSP fund manager for years (except for SV G Fund that is directly under the Treasury Secretary). State Street/STT was recently added as 2nd manager for small portions.
FWIW, the US Government also relied on Blackrock's risk asset management tools during the financial crisis.

Looking forward to hearing if this inability to compare ETFs to Mutual Funds is permanent. I suspect it is, since they now require a separate page for the chart itself. Just another nail in the coffin of M* for individual investors. Dumbing down the articles, eliminating insightful mutual funds reports in favor of computer generated junk.. the list of hits to M8 as a useful company goes on and on.
No reason to tell long time ( 30 years) customers ahead of time, now is there, M*?
Yahoo finance still charts some mutual funds with ETFs, but several funds have no chart available.
MFO charts show both ETFs and mutual funds, so it can't be a data stream issue, can it?

"As of December 31, 2020, TSP has approximately 6.2 million participants (of which approximately 3.8 million are actively participating through payroll deductions), and more than $735.2 billion in assets under management; it is the largest defined contribution plan in the world."

Is that some drool I see on the lips of fund management country wide? (If you don't follow the TSP doings over time, you have missed the various political maneuvers used over the years in an attempt to move the TSP into the skim paradises (female owned small investment business promotion, letting more firms share the wealth and management, etc.) The flavor of the argument depends on who wants the expansion and what audience is being targeted. In the past, this has not been much of a threat.
My paranoid, suspicious mind is musing how, after this is sealed in superglue to the TSP program, the more egregious the costs, the better the argument for restructuring the fund more like retirement funds run elsewhere. (You know any old stable value fund is the same as the G-fund, all have index funds with low fees, etc.) Why not Voya; they throw the best parties? (adlib from Delaware move of their retirement funds from Fidelity to Voya.
And, yes, I do know that all my comments are just idle wondering and wandering.

As mentioned earlier, the TSP G Fund is a unique stable-value fund (SV) with its principal & accumulated interest guaranteed by Uncle Sam (most SVs are guaranteed by insurance companies; some by none, so check about yours). During the debt-ceiling dramas (also unique to the US), the Treasury taps G Fund temporarily but there is no risk of loss to its holders.
The SV rates keep up with the current intermediate-term rates. The SVs are available only within workplace retirement plans.
I have mentioned a rule of thumb elsewhere - prefer SV if its guaranteed interest well exceeds the 30-day SEC yield of bond fund under consideration. This has been so in recent years but may change as rate move up.

One of the things I like about SCHD--for example--is that its top ten sectors do not show a reliance on consumer durables, utilities, infrastructure, or REITS for its payout. I like to buy those sectors separately.

That's precisely why SCHD is my largest ETF/OEF holding. I have other funds focused on those items, mostly CEFs but also some individual stocks.
The other point which hasn't been mentioned...in addition to the return remarkably close to that of the S&P 500, it also has 11.98% annual dividend growth over the last 5 years.
Sign me up for that.

This trend of high mortgage rates and high home prices cannot persist forever. Home sale and mortgage application have been declining for several months. Because there is limited inventory of houses for sale, the pricing still climbs in certain part of the country. Boise and Phoenix are some of the hot spots.
The demand for larger houses was driven from the pandemic. Will remote working from home become the new working model for all profession? Majority of my friends have had several weeks of remote working, all have since return to work full time and vaccination was the key.
My guess is that there will be fewer and fewer buyers in next several years. Returning to the pre-pandemic situation is anyone guess.

Here in Northern California several counties (Marin and Sonoma, to name two) have recently enacted moratoriums on short-term vacation rentals because the prevailing political wisdom is that short term rentals remove potential rental properties from the full-time rental market, thus contributing to the well-documented housing shortage.
Our Russian River home is located in Sonoma County, and for well over twenty years the house next to ours has been occupied by full-time renters. If it were removed from the full-time market that would indeed be one less house available for such renters.
It's not unusual for such renters to be unable to afford the entry barrier to purchase a house of their own, and I know that to be a fact with respect to the house next door. The people who live there are fully employed, and certainly contribute to the local economy.
I realize that governmental restrictions on the rental use of one's property can reasonably be regarded as an unjustifiable intrusion on an owner's property rights. But I also recognize the real need for affordable rental housing for those people who support the local economy. Frankly, with respect to my own opinion, I'm unable to resolve this contradiction.

Fido Screener is quite good. It is the only screener I know that combines mutual funds and ETFs
Ironically enough, if one can find Vanguard's screener, the first criterion shown (as a radio button) is Product Type:

• Mutual funds
• Exchange-traded funds (ETFs)
  
• Both

But it's missing a lot of other criteria, like M* ratings.

That works. Excluding no load funds hasn't worked since they launched, how many years ago? Same for minimum investment. They still give you the Admiral funds even if you specify a lower limit. And then, some part of the beginning of every month they're not going to give you other fund families. I'm probably forgetting something.
They did send me a survey recently. And no. I wouldn't recommend Vanguard to anyone.

Rajiv Jain is a very experienced fund manager who has delivered excellent long-term performance using a "quality growth" approach. His departure from GQG Partners would be a huge setback for the firm and represents substantial key-man risk. Another potential concern is that GQG Partners amassed over $91B AUM (as of 12/31/2021) in less than 6 years.

Thanks. I own both GQEIX and GQHIX and so the info you included is of interest to me. Under Parent tab, M* shows total net assets at $11B but it is possible M* did not include assets under separately managed accounts and other vehicles. It would be great if you are able to share a link or a source of the $91B you mentioned. Thanks.

Not sure what you are seeking. Vanguard has a very basic comparison tool for their funds and other families. It provides 1, 3, 5, and 10 years performance, top 10 holdings, sector invested, historical volatility, expense ratio and minimum $ required.

Fidelity does not have a comprehensive too either. Perhaps you will have better luck with Schwab.
For most of my research, I start with MFO Premium which requires work on the selection parameters. Once I narrow down the candidates, it provides a rich set of information that you can sort through patiently.

OK - It has averaged nearly 14% a year for 3 years. I think you should buy it @larryB.

The oversea version of SCHD, which is SCHY, is only 2 years old. SCHD has a longer track record.
@yogibb provided a good list. Also CDC and VG Dividend Growth, VGIDX. It is a good idea to review the sectors invested that may reveal how the funds hold up this year relative to their benchmarks.

If you lived through it you know what it is. This is not it. The term was coined at the time to describe a uniquely troubled economic landscape.
Not to beg the question @Sven asks, which is a good one. For what I suspect lies ahead …..
Good companies reasonably priced is one thing I would want to own. I’d want some exposure to foreign currencies either through my fixed income or equity holdings in case the dollar turns south. I’d want a bit in precious metals (5-7%) as a hedge against the unexpected - but I wouldn’t overdo it because they’re very volatile. And of course, I’d want a cash cushion suitable to my risk appetite (or the equivalent in short to intermediate term high quality bonds).
The above make sense to me in just about any period, but especially as we come off the huge bubble in many assets that has developed and perhaps enter into the end of years of easy money and stimulative monetary policy.

From what I can tell, those funds that are re-opening are now probably being available through third party intermediaries where previously those funds could be purchased only directly from Wasatch.
I own WMICX, WAMVX and WAIOX. I used to have others, but I sold them off several years ago.

I tranferred all accounts to Fidelity! I had TRP for 25 years and my Roth was at Vanguard for the past 20...TRP Fund Research is awful! As far as Vanguard goes...they moved my mutual fund only account to a Brokerage account. it should have been easy but no, it was multi-step process..needless to say, the fund search is not good!

Speaking of guaranteed money, we are taking advantage of online checking account, SoFi Checking of 1.25% with a monthly direct deposit, .7% without a monthly direct deposit. Our local bank is .01%.
No minimums, no fees, FDIC insured. We've used SoFi for approaching 3 years, before they became a bank. CEO is former COO of Twitter and managing director of Goldman Sachs.

I do believe it will take a Recession to kill the malaise. Yes, labor market is tight. But for many years, gov't stats. have meant less and less to me, because they are played with, manipulated, re-defined, twisted, mutilated and jerked around. There's not much that's reliable about gov't statistics today. Stagflation? The economy's going to have to be fed through a meat grinder before we get rid of it. In the current world-picture, I wish I had a ton of spare cash to go buying companies that make rockets, anti-tank weapons and logistical stuff which is sure to be sent to the Ukraine military. (Where are the JETS, uncle Joe?????) Maybe it's a matter of time before some marketing genius establishes a mutual fund concentrated in military hardware and weapons.....

Maybe good combine any dippers to these discussions

Betting small caps and market has bottom formations, if not 3 5 years hold lol

If I read another headline about the latest "undiscovered safe" stock or fund with a yield of 10% I will throw up.
All you have to do is look at ATT. What good was the 6% dividend when the stock is down 20 to 30% in the last 3 to 5 years?

Yeah, there definitely is a herd mentality over there. I've complained loudly about their sensational breathless reporting of everything Saint Cathie of ARKK would do or say, and how their 'Why did ABC move up/down today?' headlines being nothing more than Motley-Fool clickbait-class nonsense, but who am I to be listened to.
