It's relatively new. They have no site, trading and research tools, investing plans etc.

Most of the big brokers offer commission free trades on ETF's and mutual funds.

If you are just looking to allocate to some ETFs by Vanguard, there's really no argument left that you need any of these tools. All you are going to do is by SPY or some other ETF and sit on it. Robinhood is very easy for that.

Can you name a few that support commission-free trades on ETFs/Mutual Funds for Roth IRA accounts? Can't find one using Google. Thanks.

Almost all of the top brokers have some sort of commission-free ETFs/mututal funds.

Oh, I've seen those. They're a limited selection of ETFs/Mutual Funds though. I thought you were referring to brokers who had unlimited free ETF trading.

Vanguard for Vanguard ETF/Mutual Fund products in a Roth IRA brokerage account.

Fidelity offers commission free trades on both their ETFs as well as iShares ETFs. If you're only indexing that's all you need.

They also have a crap ton of commission free mutual funds, IIRC.

Merrill Edge if you have sufficiently high account balance (>$50k) allows 30 free ETF and stock trades per month. There are nice credit card bonuses with BOA CCs, too.
