Schwab, SoFi, Vanguard and Fidelity Lead 2026 IRA Broker Picks, With 1% Match in Focus
2 articles · Updated · The Motley Fool · Sep 5
Summary
Four brokers — Charles Schwab, SoFi, Vanguard and Fidelity — were named the top IRA picks for 2026, with the review steering investors by fees, fund costs and account minimums.
SoFi stood out for a 1% match on eligible IRA contributions and rollovers; on the 2026 contribution limit of $7,500, that adds $75 for savers who max out.
Schwab was highlighted for $0 stock and ETF commissions, broad research and multiple IRA types, while Vanguard was favored for passive investors with index-fund expense ratios as low as 0.03%.
Fidelity, already named Motley Fool Money's best overall broker for 2026, was cited for $0 commissions, no minimums and some zero-expense-ratio index funds.
