I'm tempted to put 25% each in Vanguard Growth&Income Fund, Vanguard Explorer Fund, Principal LargeCap S&P 500 Index Separate Account, and LargeCap S&P 500 Index Separate Account So far, I've picked them because of their lower loads. I'm just curious what other people think of the various choices available to me.
