15% of 90k gross. They match 3% so I get 13.5k + 2.7k = 16.2k. So I haven't maxed it out yet, but I think I will soon.

Hey, I don't have access all the vanguard indexes. My employer uses fidelity.
Currently I put 100% in their SPTN 500 INDEX INST (FXSIX) ($13K so far).
I understand it's best to diversify early, but I don't really know what to pick.
My options with vanguard are VINIX for index, VMCIX for midcap, VSCIX for small cap, VTIAX for international and VBTIX for bonds.
I don't know if I'll be charged a commission or how to split though.
Can anyone offer suggestions?

>> No.719288

>>719257
You could construct a well-rounded portfolio using those Vanguard funds, though you'd need to buy all of them in appropriate percentages depending on your goals and risk tolerance.

It would be easier for you if there was a total market fund, or perhaps even better, a target date retirement fund. It doesn't matter if they're not Vanguard as long as the fees are low. Do you have any of these options, and if so, what are the fees for them?

>> No.719300

>>719288
Thanks for answering.
There is a target date retirement fund but the fees are obscene (0.7%), which is way I moved to the Spartan index.
I am extremely tolerant to risk, as I have other business ventures to tide me over if my retirement money doesn't work out.
My thinking is that over 40 yrs, can I lose everything if I have everything in stock and start looking for the right time to reallocate to bonds 10 yrs prior to retirement?

Also, as for a total market index, I have access to
Spartan® Total Market Index Fund - Institutional Class. Fees are pretty complicated on that one, but they seem low.

Well, if you have no better options, and a long-term perspective, I suggest:

40% VINIX
5% VMCIX
20% VSCIX
25% VTIAX
10% VBTIX

VINIX includes some mid-cap exposure already, so VMCIX is optional. Also, this is overweighted in small cap exposure, which is a proven long-term strategy and recommended by some. A more conventional allocation would shift more into the S&P 500. 10% bond allocation is the smallest I can recommend in good conscious, but many go without any exposure. There's no right or wrong as long as you don't go crazy with the tweaking.

>>719293
I'm an attorney. However, I don't know enough about you or your circumstances to give you career advice. Its not really my wheelhouse anyway.

>>719311
You could replace VINIX, VMCIX, and VSCIX with the Total Market fund if you prefer. They serve the same purpose, although you'll be getting a more conventional small and mid-cap weighting I suspect.

Hey buddy so uh I was wondering
How did you make a first deposit with admiral shares when the buy in is 10k?
I'd like my 401k + IRA to also hold admiral shares but how do you buy multiple funds in a single year given the contribution limits? Employer match?

>> No.719701

>>719621
No. Actually, you don't want my situation. My 401k provider (nationwide) invests in low fee admiral share funds, while raping me up the ass with their own fees. Like total rape.

My idea is to put as much money as I can in the 401k when it's new and the fees don't hurt as much, then, change jobs in about 4-5 years and roll that shit over into an IRA at vanguard.
