I have a self-managed portfolio and an IRA at Vanguard. Vanguard brokerage provides a full spectrum of investments from brokered CDs, Treasuries, stocks, mutual funds (both Vanguard funds and others) as well as money market accounts.

Vanguard does have an investment management group and I could avail myself of their help but choose not to.

Vanguard and Fidelity both seek such individual investors.
