But, where do you see value of combining S&P with Dow Jones?
The correlation between both indexe is pretty high.
Does your risk adjusted return on investment benefit from splitting your money?
If not I would go for S&P.
The MSCI fund probably allocates a lot of money into US stocks, too.
I would do a combination of (S&P with MSCI ex US) with Domestic and Global Bonds.

According to the prospectus(s).
The I fund (MSCI EAFE type fund) does not contain anything from North America.
The S Fund is small to medium companies, broad index fund excluding S&P companies.
Basically from from I have seen from historical returns on the C (Large cap) and S (small and med. cap) funds is that when one has a bad year, the other seems to have more favorable results. Basically I have a total stock index fund with a tilt even more so to the S&P 500. The TSP does not offer a simple total index. In other words there is a VOO and VO but no VTSAX.
