      I almost hate to ask because I know what im sharing is vague but if anyone has an opinion, I would appreciate hearing it.

      I’m 41 and these are my 401k options.

      My company matches 4% and I do max it out at $22k, but with the return I’ve been getting I think I may switch to only contribute the 4% and put the rest in my ETF account.

      Could anyone offer a suggestion on getting the max return?

        Traditionally all those TDF underperform. Ud be better off mostly fidelity 500 fund.

        Then a bit of small cap.

          100% fxaix until you get more educated
          Which is s&p 500

            FXAIX corresponds to S&P 500, so that is what I select. Also, just as an FYI, the max 401k contribution this year is $23,500.

              100% FXAIX. You can verify this is the best by comparing the 10 year return against all the other options.

                70% FXAIX / 20% FSMDX / 10% SWSSX. That should mimic a total market index fund pretty well.

                Also, be sure to turn on your rebalance feature for either semiannually or annually.

                  You’re just choosing from the bottom from Fidelity, so you want a mix of US markets (large & mid caps), Europe developed, and emerging markets.

                  I actually do the real-estate index because I don’t have physical real-estate exposure other than RIETs.

                  Not financial advise, but would do 40 : 20 : 15 : 10 : 15 for whatever 100% of your portfolio mix.
