Even simpler than that, is there any reason not to go with something like a Vanguard Lifestrategy which implements something quite close to a Bogleheads mix? Asking sincerely as that’s what I’m using now, and it’s just so easy it feels like there must be some unanticipated downside.
- benjaminwootton 4y agoI agree. Buy some low cost diversified funds through Vanguard. I cannot understand why the average investor needs anyone else in the loop.
- readams 4y agoThose funds have higher costs. If you want to do that (and it's a good idea) look at the portfolio allocation and then buy the ETF version of the underlying assets.
- bombcar 4y agoThis is really the only downside (beyond them being perhaps too conservative - but you can adjust by selecting a different “year”).
