I am moving money out of my old 401K finally. (I am leaving some there until 59.5 yrs old just in case, but slowly getting most of my money out.) I say "finally" because my 401K provider only allows me to take money out from all funds proportionately (you cannot pick which fund to take the money out of), so I waited until DJIA came back up to ~18000 and all my funds were going better.
Anyway, my old 401K is filled with some strange/obscure mutual funds, and they don't have broader/diversified funds so I ended up having a dozen funds to make it work for me. Now that I can have my money in the rollover IRA at Fidelity, the list below is what I am thinking of doing (kind of a lazy/passive investing...)
VTI (Total Stock) 36%
VXUS (Total Int'l) 6%
BND (Total bond) 18%
VCIT(intermediate corp bond) 18%
VWINX (Wellesley) 19%
VNQ (REIT) 3%
This is about 50/50 asset allocation which the Fidelity advisor said would give me almost as good a result as having it at 65/35 when I had the free consultation last spring. (I did move over to 50/50 after the consultation, which I thought was a good idea also especially because I was also going to start the draw-down phase...)
Does this look OK? I am thinking of going in after the market settles *down*....
