Among the funds you cited, there are really only three asset classes:
  • S&P 500 index funds (FSMKX, VFINX, FUSEX)--I lump FSTMX here, even though it tracks the Wilshire 5000
  • Mid/small-cap blend (FSEMX)--tracks the Wilshire 4500 completion index
  • International (FSIIX)--tracks the MSCI EAFE index
As a previous poster suggested, since you're young, you could just put 1/3 of your contributions in each.
I agree with the above two posters. This is simple and diverse.
