On this list do you have any idea how i should allocate my 401K funds?

Answer 4

My short answer is TRP Retirement 2040 and then don't look at it again until you are 5 years from retirement.

My long answer is that the advisers for your 401(k) fund have given you too many choices and not enough advice.  The result of this (for most 401(k) participants) is a c**p shoot:  a lot of guessing and random choices while good solid well researched portfolio selection exists.

Fortunately for you, your company has done one thing correctly:  given you well managed, low cost, pre-selected portfolios as an option.

Take it.

And let it be.
