I'm having trouble sorting out just how a fund like Vanguard Total Stock Market index is really allocated. I understand that it is skewed by its objectives toward large cap growth, but just how would it break down in terms of Value, Growth, Small and Large?
The questions behind my question are a) whether I really need to slice into those 4 categories to get decent diversification, or is the Total Stock Index reasonable proxy for that? If it's closer to the S&P 500, I'll slice and dice; and b) if not, is there a fund that specifically does that specific task for me -- i.e. maintains a specific balance among these categories. Trying to simplify my plans.
