[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those are both large cap US growth funds, not exactly diversified. Look into international large and small, us small cap, and emerging markets. Factor based investing is also an option.[/quote] No. Neither of these is a large cap growth fund. One is an S&P 500 index ETF (VOO), which is essentially a large-cap blend of growth and value stocks, though about 16% of holdings are mid-cap. The other is a total stock market index mutual fund (VTSAX), which is also a blend of growth and value stocks, with 9% small-cap, 19% mid-cap, and 72% large-cap. VTSAX and VTI (the ETF version) are very diversified domestic portfolios. If you want even more small-cap and mid-cap exposure for growth, you should add VBK and VOT, respectively. For international exposure, consider VXUS or SPDW. As interest rates rise, bond fund prices will continue to drop and become an increasingly better investment; might consider BND for this. Finally, if real estate is your game, you could do far worse than USRT. [/quote]
