For a while now I've been investing solely in equities- mainly the C, S and I funds (stock indicies) available thru the TSP. Sort of a passive investment strategy.
I'm enrolled in an Investment Management class as one of the electives for my MBA. The instructor keeps handing us articles saying that the markets are oversold and predicting flat returns for years.
How can I get more diversification? What asset classes should I add? Is investing passivly in low cost indicies a good strategy for a 17-20 year time frame?
I realize this is a matter of opinion. I am thinking of add some TIPs bonds ETFs maybe. The TSP also has the G and F fund, which I've avoided so far.
My wife is letting me consolidate several of her accounts and I will probably open up something with fidelity, vanguard or USAA to roll her retirement accounts into.
Ideas welcomed. I also have to develop a personal investment plan, which accounts for 40% of my grade ;-)
Thanks!
