You’ll get plenty of advice on this even though you didn’t ask for it.

Instead of looking for something new, take this as a catalyst to assess your current allocation and rebalance as needed. Sounds like you might be a little all over the place. The whole point of target date funds is to diversify and auto rebalance which is potentially under minded by your other holdings.Take a closer look at where you hold each asset class. For instance, Roth is often considered best place to hold higher growth assets while slower growth dividend stocks may be more suitable in traditional.

In case you or spouse is 50+ the Roth contribution is $8k. Typically, Roth is last thing you want to tap in retirement unless you really need the $ and trying to stay below income limits for ACA subsidies etc.
Have you been above Roth income limit in previous years? If so, have you considered backdoor Roth in high income years?

That bites, you don't have a 401k that accepts rollovers either?

I just now got the joke. Last night I was on Google Finance trying to find HKRS and YAYO.

HKRS actually is a delisted energy company.

Most of the time, it’s best to leave the Roth bucket alone for as long as possible. Let it be focused on growth and the last bucket you touch. It’s growing tax-free. So remove the dividend stocks and set it for growth. Add international and small cap if you haven’t already.
