What is Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF?
VTI aims to hold essentially the entire US stock market, including small and medium-sized companies, not just the largest ones.
It is a common choice for people who want the widest possible single-fund exposure to the US market.

How the process would work
- 1
Join the waitlist
Accounts are not open yet. Joining the waitlist puts you in line for an invitation when Token Africa launches.
- 2
Verify your identity
At launch you would confirm who you are with a government ID and a few basic details — a legal requirement for any investment account.
- 3
Add money in Liberian dollars
Planned funding through mobile money or bank transfer. Your Liberian dollars are converted to US dollars at a published rate shown before you confirm.
- 4
Choose an amount, not a number of shares
You enter what you want to invest — from $1 — and receive a fractional share of that value instead of a whole share.
- 5
Review the cost, then confirm
The indicative 2% commission and the converted dollar amount are shown before you place the order.
- 6
Track it and add over time
Your holding, its value and any dividends appear in your portfolio. Most people add small amounts regularly rather than all at once.
Before you decide
- Wider coverage than an S&P 500 fund, including smaller companies.
- Low ongoing fund fee, charged inside the fund.
- Still entirely US — no exposure to other countries.
Risk: Owning the whole market does not prevent losses in a falling market. Values can fall as well as rise and you may get back less than you put in. Currency movements between Liberian and US dollars add a second source of change. Past performance tells you nothing about the future.
