Mutual Funds in Asset Classes
The following tables feature carefully curated mutual funds, designed to provide investors with exposure to various asset classes. These funds focus on low-cost Vanguard Admiral Shares index mutual funds — the preferred choice for buy-and-hold retirement investors in 401(k), IRA, and taxable brokerage accounts.
Investors can pick and choose mutual funds from these tables for asset classes to construct a diversified asset allocation portfolio based on MyPlanIQ asset allocation strategies or just lazy portfolios. For ETF alternatives, see ETFs in Asset Classes.
