I make IRA contributions every two weeks and primary investment doesn’t allow fractional share purchasing and it generally takes several deposits to have enough to purchase the fund.

In the interim while my cash is in my IRA but before I have enough to purchase the ETF, is there a money market fund the board would recommend?

Platform I use is E Trade.

Thanks.

Doesn't the holding account earn interest? My Vanguard holding account is at 4.23%.

My E Trade account automatically invests excess cash in a MM fund.

Yea, most i've ever seen, the holding account is a money market fund, so it earns interest.

Thanks all.

It’s never much money sitting there long and never paid attention if it was earning interest.

I don’t have E*trade so can’t say for certain theirs is the same. May be something you have to enroll in. Not sure. As mentioned previously, Vanguard’s settlement account is in a money market account, so it is getting in the 4% range annually.

I know my Schwab earns more than my savings account, but i have Chase so that isn’t saying much. But still.
