Is CSPX and VTI the same? I'm currently holding both, am thinking of only owning 1. Which one should i keep?

CSPX and VTI are both exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that track different indexes.

CSPX is the iShares MSCI World ex U.S. ETF, which tracks the performance of large and mid-cap non-U.S. companies across 23 developed markets.

VTI, on the other hand, is the Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF, which tracks the performance of the CRSP US Total Market Index and includes small, mid, and large-cap U.S. stocks.

If you're trying to decide between these two ETFs, it largely depends on your investment goals and risk tolerance.

If you're interested in a globally diversified portfolio, the iShares MSCI World ex U.S. ETF (CSPX) may be a good choice for you, as it provides exposure to a broad range of non-U.S. companies across multiple developed markets.

However, if you're focused on U.S. equities, the Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (VTI) may be a better option for you, as it provides exposure to the entire U.S. stock market, including small, mid, and large-cap stocks.

Ultimately, the choice between these two ETFs should be based on your investment goals, risk tolerance, and overall financial situation. It may also be helpful to consult a financial advisor to discuss your options and make an informed decision.
