<description>I would like to add a World Allocation Mutual Fund to my portfolio.  TIBIX looks like a solid choice, but the minimum investment through VG is quite high.  Has anyone navigated these waters within Vanguard? Glenn</description>

<description>A very difficult investing environment has forced many managers to try atypical strategies, says Morningstar's Kevin McDevitt.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;b&gt;[0:00:07]&lt;/b&gt; ... a senior analyst at Morningstar. We're going to look at his favorite &lt;b&gt;world&lt;/b&gt;-&lt;b&gt;allocation&lt;/b&gt; funds and where those managers are placing their bets today. Kevin, thanks for joining me. Kevin McDevitt: Thanks for having me, Jeremy. Glaser: So, let's talk little bit about what you look at in &lt;b&gt;world&lt;/b&gt;-&lt;b&gt;allocation&lt;/b&gt; funds? What are the hallmarks of a great fund that investors should be considering? McDevitt: Sure. Well, there is tremendous amount of variety when it comes to &lt;b&gt;world&lt;/b&gt;-&lt;b&gt;allocation&lt;/b&gt; funds. So, as an investor, I think, here more than most categories you really want to have a handle on the manager's ... &lt;br/&gt;</description>

<description>I raised this in my thread on Portfolio Monitor, but I figure it deserves its own thread since it is a stand-alone issue and affects more than just PM. Morningstar.com has at least two features that rely on the system assigning a Morningstar Category to a user's portfolio - Portfolio Sharing and ...</description>

<description>Over the past year I've been aggressively adding bond funds to what was an all-stock/cash portfolio. Unable to decide on a core bond fund I wanted to own, so I've been adding somewhat randomly.  The rest of the portfolio is mainly individual large-cap stocks, which I periodically prune and invest ...</description>

<description>The Federal Reserve's bond purchases are contributing to greater inflows into fixed-income funds, while demand for stock funds is near multiyear lows.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;b&gt;[0:07:13]&lt;/b&gt; ... terms of flows last month--was their Global Opportunities fund, which is a &lt;b&gt;world&lt;/b&gt;-&lt;b&gt;allocation&lt;/b&gt; fund.
