Vanguard 2050 Target Date retirement fund at the moment,


I’m in the same and looks like it is around 9% fixed income.

I’m 34


I won’t own a bond until about 3-5 years before retirement. And I probably won’t own a whole lot of them 5 years after, either.

From 2010 to present, the correlation coefficient is 0.9995. Your question is academic- with a lot of fun discussion points, I will add- but you can basically treat them as one and the same for practical purposes.

I’ve got a lot of mine in VTI, the Vanguard total market ETF. It’s done very well.

You can do this yourself. At 29, most would suggest a high % of stocks like 90% or more.


This.

20% Large Cap Blend (Value & Growth)
30% Mid Cap Blend
30% Small Cap Blend
20% International Equity Fund

All Vanguard funds. You’re welcome.

I also like VTI for a young person’s portfolio. It’s pretty much everything not in the S&P500. So gives you mid and small cap exposure which over the long term will provide more growth.
