If you're not trying to hedge and want a "fire and forget" for decades until you're in a ~3-year window from retirement, this is the winner on this menu.

I have nothing against index funds and have 25% of my retirement in one but there are funds that consistently outperform the S&P 500. If you have one of these available in your 401k, I think it would be wise to put a certain % in it.

In my 401k, Fidelity Growth Company comes to mind - FDGRX. Below is its performance vs an S&P index fund (in parenthesis) over the past 15 years.

1 yr return - 34.02% (25.44)
5 yr 16.91 (12.32)
10 yr 18.19 (14.32)
15 yr 13.20 (9.23)
