I received a multi-page report from my Ameriprise FA today. I'd like some feedback on this scenario:
60 yr old female with a 401(k) valued @ ~ $240K; will not be tapping into for 5 yrs or so
Asset allocation: 100% MF; 50% balanced 50% large cap stock
Portfolio Performance (past 12 months): 13.35% (after hidden fees)
Benchmark: S&P 500......................... 15.74%
Benchmark: DJ 30 Industrial Ave........ 15.70%
These are the only moneys that are subject to making alternative decisions (well there is $26K in a Roth CD with a bank), the rest of the retirement income will be SS & a retirement pension. Have I provided enough info for serious feedback?
I read here the other day, where a poster said her portfolio was benchmarked against S&P & that seemed to be nixed by the informed financial minds here (if I understood correctly). Does that opinion hold true for the above info too?
Keep in mind, I'm really a lightweight when it comes to investment knowledge, so I'm hoping my questions aren't too ignorant. I want to learn, though.
