Hi All, My husband just used an automated feature that provides recommendations on asset allocation through his employer 401K site. I'm not too keen on what was recommended, but am wondering what you all think: 34.94% in SSgA S&P 500 (index fund, ticker SVSPX) 42.96% in SSgA MSCI EAFE International (index fund, can't find ticker, similar to EFA) 13.09% in American Funds EuroPacific Growth (AEPGX) He wants to be in 100% stocks. Not a whole lot of choices in his retirement plan. Other options include 4 index funds (SSgA total bond, SSgA US total market index equity, SSgA S&P 400 midcap index, and SSgA Russell 2000) and actively managed funds (PIMCO total return, Vanguard Windsor II, Vanguard growth and income , Vanguard US Growth, VAnguard selected value, Vanguard mid-cap growth, Royce Special equity fund, T Rowe Price New Horizons Trust). On another note, I invested about 10K in Vanguard 500 index about 15 years ago and I am actually DOWN money, so the automated strategy suggested above scares me. Trouble is that I don't think the options are all that great, and we are limited if we want the tax advantages of participating in the 401K. Any ideas? I'm really stuck here...
