If jazz4cash's suggestion doesn't pan out you might want to just re-think your asset allocations across all the accounts you and your wife have (your 401(K), your IRAs, her IRAs, as well as her stinky 401(K)). Assuming you guys are getting along alright, all that matters is that the total allocation in all the accounts is good. For example, if you've got a good EM fund available in your own 401(k) you could put more money there, and maybe increase the percentage of $$ in some other area of her 401(k) account. What matters at the end of the day is that you've got the allocations right, not necessarily which account it is in.
