Confused about dryer sheets
Dear All
I’ve been with Vanguard over 15 years and saving as much as I can from the beginning of my career. I’m the only working person in our family and filing jointly with my wife. I’ve an asset over 2.5 mln at Vanguard and all my funds are Vanguard ETF funds.
Here is my current asset allocation 75/25 and my total assets are 54% in tax-exempt and 46% in taxable accounts.
In my stocks, 60% US ( Large Cap 73%, Mid cap 18% and small Cap 9%) and 40% Int’l ( Europe 40%, Pacific 29%, Canada 7% and Emerging Market 24%).
Bonds 40% - 100% taxable bonds.
4 accounts are in my Tax-exempt
( Retirement , 54%):
Traditional Roth IRA ( 3%) - Vanguard Total Int’l Stock Index ETF
Rollover IRA ( 38%)- Vanguard Total Bond Market ETF(28%), Vanguard Total Int’l Bond Index ETF( 12%), Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF ( 18% ), Vanguard Total Int’l Stock Index Fund ETF ( 42%)
SEP-IRA ( 10%) - Vanguard Total Bond Market ETF(52%), Vanguard Total Int’l Bond Index ETF( 25%), Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF ( 16% ), Vanguard Total Int’l Stock Index Fund ETF ( 7%).
Roth IRA ( 4%) - Vanguard Total Bond MarketETF(16%),Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF ( 9% ), Vanguard Extended Market ETF ( 41% ), Vanguard Total Int’l Stock Index Fund ETF ( 34%).
Taxable Brokerage account (46%):
Vanguard Mega Cap value ETF(4%), Vanguard FTSE All World Ex US ETF(12%), Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF ( 61%), Vanguard Growth ETF ( 5%), Federal Money Market account (18%).
As I’m 55 and planning to retire in 7-10 years, I prefer to change my asset allocation into 65/35 or 60/40. As I mentioned earlier, I’m the only working in my family, have a guaranteed job with the government with annual income in the six figure and we file jointly.
Recently I sold a rental house which gave me a cash of ~235K which is lying in Vanguard Federal MM fund. Need suggestion regarding this extra cash too.
I really like your inputs in making my changes regarding my asset allocation or any suggestions with my funds choices.
Thanks for reading my post.
