Buy Vanguard Index Funds?

Hey Guys
I have a brokerage account with my personal bank(lets call it ABC).ABC charges me some fees when i buy No-Load index funds from vanguard.is it possible to buy those funds directly from vanguard without having an account with them?
also a more general question,is it a good idea to invest in index funds (vanguard or any other) if i need a modest return (may be 7%-10%).i know it will be speculation but just some experience from investors will help:)
Thanks
@Martha

Index Funds – making money?

I’ve invested in 2 index funds through Vanguard and with the market fluctuating almost daily, I’m wondering if I should transfer the money made into my bank account when it’s at a higher price. How does this work? Would I get taxed on the money that I’m "making"? Is this recommended or should I just keep the money in the fund for awhile until I make a bigger sum? Perhaps I just don’t understand how this works, but if I started my fund at 0 and today it went up to 0, could I just take the and put it in my bank account as if it was money I earned? Please advise!

I invest in 5 different index funds for my ROTH IRA. Do you think this mixture is good?

I invest in 5 index funds through Vanguard but am always second guessing myself. I plan on holding these funds long term. I am currently 39 years old. The five funds are 1) Emerging Markets Index Fund 2) Total International Index Fund 3) 500 Index Fund 4) Large Cap Value Fund 5) Small Cap Index Fund.

What do you think? As you see above, I try to keep each fund at about 20% of the total value. So as you see, that means 40% is in international. 60% is in US index funds. Is this a good mixture?

Please help!!
