I'd Put $10,000 Into These 3 Vanguard Funds and Not Touch It for 20 Years

Key Points Combined, the three funds charge roughly $3 in yearly fees for each $10,000 invested. The dividend fund returned around 21% over the 12 months through August, edging its two siblings. The growth fund has the best 10-year record of the three at almost 18% a year. 10 stocks we like better than Vanguard S&P 500 ETF › The S&P 500 (SNPINDEX:^GSPC) is roughly 1% below its record close as I write, and that sort of backdrop can make investing fresh money uncomfortable. No one wants to buy near a peak. But over a 20-year horizon, I'd say the bigger mistake is usually never investing the money at all.
