If you’re just starting to research on your own, take a look at the holdings in a target date retirement fund. Pick the year you plan to retire and find the corresponding fund, then look at the fund fact sheets and other metrics to see what Vanguard, Blackrock, JPMorgan, etc are doing for the masses. If they’re 3% in China or 6% in small caps, it gives you some idea of where to start for yourself. Build from there based on your own comfort with risk and goals.
