I need some hlep in Choosing a mutual fund for my Roth IRA? |
Currently I am invested in a target date mutual fund for my Roth IRA. My wife is now starting her Roth IRA. Is it a good idea for her to get another target date fund from a different company or should we diversify more and get either a large cap or mid cap driven fund? A target date mutual fund does the diversification for you. Unless you want to get more involved in the mechanics of portfolio balancing and using different funds to assemble a portfolio that you like, just stick to the target date funds. You might learn more and in addition enjoy investing more by becoming more involved in the mutual fund selection process. Target date mutual funds are ok, but somewhat sterile, especially when incorporated into a Roth account. They also tend to be over allocated to U S stocks although some moreso than others. US World is a No Load MF Co. and the Gold, Precious Minerals Funds along with the China, India and Natural Resources are great funds to be in and to add positions to. All the above are non 12b-1 funds. Personally, I am opposed to Target Date funds. These are intentionally conservative in their investment strategies, as they cannot tailor them to your specific needs. |
