For example if $100K is there, want to split between VTI and VXUS 50/50, do I trade to buy VTI and VXUS? Where do i specify i want to put $50K in VTI and $50K in VXUS? Is there an option after clicking the trade/buy button?
Appreciate your guidance.
You buy like any other stock. Go to Trade > Stock/ETF (
https://olui2.fs.ml.com/Equities/OrderEntry.aspx). Then pick buy, enter the symbol, and click "Calculate by $ amount" and type in the amount, then click "Update shares" which will tell you how many shares that is:
Then hit "Save Shares" and go back and hit preview order then submit order and you're done.
