    Question ETF or Fund Equivalent to S Fund?

    So, is there a non-index way to track the S fund?

    Yes, I know the S fund isn't listed

    You can track the R2K x 2 and come real close to the S fund value.

    Is there a non-index option (an ETF or mutual fund)?

    Can't really buy shares of an index...

    I am going to try to use USMIX since I am using USAA (no transaction fees) and see how that tracks...

    So, I found out from USAA that they don't allow "in and out" trades. If I sell a fund, I cannot buy it again within 30 days or that is considered trading for short term gain (and thats a problem?).

    Anyway, it looks like I need to find somewhere else to put my play money and a fund family that can give me S Fund equivalent long and short term (1x, 2x, 3x) funds. I have seen many posts with the information but was wondering if those that know could provide me their recommendations for an investment account and fund families...

    Thanks everyone !!
