Isn't that why Vanguard has their Total Stock Market and Total Bond Market funds? Basically, they're the "invest in these if you don't want to bother" funds.

- mcintyre1994 9y agoThey also have LifeStrategy 0/20/40/60/80/100 so you can balance stocks vs bonds however you want, and have diversification handled for you.
- TorKlingberg 9y agoI think the numbered LifeStrategy funds are only a UK (GBP) thing. Am I wrong?
- matwood 9y agoThere are US equivalents.
- mcintyre1994 9y agoI'm in the UK and hold the GBP products, so I'm unsure sorry.
- dguo 9y agoThat's a good point. Deciding to go with those is still a choice though. It's like going to a restaurant that has both an omakase[1] option and regular dishes. Versus a restaurant that only offers omakase. The latter involves even less decision making. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omakase https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omakase
