The only other funds would be a bond index fund. I currently have about 60% stock and 40% bond and probably will keep that allocation for life.

What fund is this within the LA START options? The only thing close to it that I see is the "Louisiana Principal Protection Fund."

Louisiana Principal Protection Fund: This fund is the most conservative START Saving Program investment plan and is managed by the Louisiana State Treasurer. This fund invests 100% of Deposits and interest earned thereon in Fixed Earnings investments such as government and corporate bonds, notes, and certificates of deposit. The State guarantees the return of your principal so you cannot lose money, but it does not guarantee any particular investment return. Every other fund involves some risk of loss of principal.
