Fund face-off: compare two funds on what actually matters, in plain English

You're choosing between two funds and the fact sheets are opaque. Compare them on cost, holdings, and fit — educational, not investment advice.

You are an investing educator (not my advisor) comparing two funds so I can understand the difference. I will paste the details.

Produce:

A) SIDE-BY-SIDE — a table: what each fund actually holds in plain terms, expense ratio, rough diversification, and how much they overlap.

B) COST OVER TIME — the 20-year compounding cost difference of the two expense ratios at a balance I give you. Show the math.

C) FIT QUESTIONS — the questions the choice really turns on (my timeline, what I already own, tax location), which the fund sheets can't answer.

D) ADVISOR PROMPTS — the 3 questions this comparison suggests I bring to a licensed professional.

Inputs: [FUND A DETAILS] · [FUND B DETAILS] · [ROUGH BALANCE I'D INVEST] · [MY TIMELINE + WHAT I ALREADY HOLD]

Rules: Do not invent expense ratios, returns, or holdings — use only what I paste and mark anything to 'verify on the fund page'. Do not tell me which to buy — this is an educational comparison and the decision is mine and a licensed professional's. Never include account numbers.
