I have been trying to nail down my asset allocation and I have been reading quite a bit about it, but it is never clear to me. When they say you should have 30% in international stock. Do they mean 30% of portfolio or 30% of stock portion of portfolio. Big difference.
I looked at the Vanguard 2025 fund and it is invested 24% of total portfolio in international. Other articles suggest as much as 40% international, but they do not specify if that is a percentage of total portfolio or just a percentage of stock portion of portfolio.
Right now, I am significantly lighter than the Vanguard Target fund. I am at 13% of total portfolio in international
What would be a smart international % of total portfolio for a set and forget portfolio?
