Edward Jones and I broke up, now what?

Hope you guys are doing well. I'll keep this short. I pulled my Roth IRA out of Edward Jones. They had me invested in SMCWX (1.03% fee), CWGIX (0.73% fee), AIVSX(0.55% fee), and AGTHX (0.59% fee). Can I sell all of these and invest into VT or VOO without triggering a taxable event? Im pretty sure yes, but I know there are people here that know way more than me. I may actually just invest it into FXAIX since it doesnt have a fee. I have a taxable account as well.

Thanks everyone for your advice, hope your lives are going well.

Why VT over VOO?

So did I just time my one VOO stock purchase perfectly to make the returns look so much better? Do I need to just wait it out to see if VT will start giving better returns? I know there is really not much time at all to judge these decisions, but damn. What do you think is going on?

DONE with Edward Jones

I plan on pulling my and my wife's Roth IRAs out of EJ and transferring to Fidelity since thats where i have my taxable account. I have never managed my own Roth IRA, but after dealing with them for the better part of 10 years, I am done.

​

Now, what would you recommend I put my Roth IRA into? I planned on just doing 100% VOO, but i am clearly a novice. I am really eager to learn and listen to your advice, especially if you were in my position. How did it work out for you? Do you recommend it invest in a different fund with a lower expense ratio?

I feel like i can handle investing into simple index etfs. Thank you for any advice.
