However, two questions. 1) What funds (preferably index) at TRP would you recommend? I have and continue to contribute on a monthly basis to a Vanguard STAR Roth IRA and my wife has her pension in a Vanuard Small Caps Index Fund; she works for the local government here and gets a certain percentage of her paycheck matched by her employer every two weeks, regardless of whether she contributes to it or not - which she does, of course. It is my goal to (slowly and correctly) create a solidly allocated asset portfolio and while I have the small caps covered with her pension and the STAR fund is 60% Stocks (16% Foreign), 32% Bonds and 6% Cash, I am wondering what Roth IRA fund I can invest in with TRP that would provide more balance? (I know that I will just be moving it later on when it meets the minimum for a Vanguard Fund, but any direction you could provide would be greatly appreciated.) 2) Once I get it to the threshold for a Vanguard fund, beyond the two I already have funds going into (STAR and Small Caps Index), what Vanguard fund would you recommend? Many Thanks and Happy Holidays, Eric I am intrigued. However, two questions.
