FSKAX follows Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index, FPADX follows MSCI Emerging Markets Index. https://testfol.io/?s=53rPsZqsrlO emerging more than doubled the US returns between January 1, 2025 and January 7, 2026 (yesterday).
At this point in time I’d look to China and Europe and emerging markets. HSU, FTSE, and FPADX.
Yes, FPADX is emerging markets (heavy China tilt), DFEMX is also, Asia (China, Taiwan, India and Korea tilted) and some Brazil. FSPSX is an International Index and FIEUX is Europe.
I should have included this but here is what my portfolio looks like: VOO TCIEX VBTLX AGG SWPPX - someone mentioned something about Charles Schwab and a stock split. I’m new to this not sure what that means FPADX CBFVX
New here. If I go to Charles Schwab I’m assuming they’ll offer a similar service? I want to leave them to manage it. Appreciate the tip I should have included this but here is what my portfolio looks like: VOO TCIEX VBTLX AGG SWPPX - someone mentioned something about Charles Schwab and a stock split.

no, there’s no ex US outside of my 401k (but 2.5% of my non TDF 401k is in FPADX). We didn’t have a straight institutional index when I started so that’s how I ended up with both and I just never liquidated the VPMAX. I get its odd to do that and partially do the TDF but my return has just been significantly better in VINIX than TDF (15 vs 10% and even 12% for VPMAX) so not really interested in changing that or shifting more into it.
>FSPSX - international - 0.035% Be aware that this is basically developed market large (maybe mid as well) caps only. FTIHX, FSGGX, or FZILX are all developed + emerging and at 0.06% or less ER. Or there's FPADX if you want emerging but would rather add a fund to do so than change (such as if this is a taxable account).
Would like some advice on my IRA portfolio. Am I overdoing it with all these funds? 33 y.o. FBGRX FPADX FSMDX FSSNX FXAIX FZILX
If using FSPSX, consider adding FPADX for emerging coverage.

FTIHX already holds emerging markets so if you want to overweight emerging thats fine I guess. What I don't like FTEMX 1.12 er though.FPADX, Fidelitys emerging market index, is .075 much better option, or You could use Vanguard, Ishares, or Schwab cheaper emerging markets etf. I feel like total market is already pretty growth tilted already so if I were to tilt anywhere it would be probably to small cap value or anything value. Value historically has out performed growth but who knows what will happen in the future. Nobody really knows if last 10-15 years is going to be how stock market will be going forward.
FTIHX/FZILX already cover both developed and emerging. FPADX would be the one to compliment FSPSX.
What does everyone think of this Roth IRA allocation? I am about 25 years away from retirement: 20% US Large Cap (FXAIX) 20% US Mid Cap (FSMDX) 20% US Small Cap (FSSNX) 20% Int'l Developed (FSPSX) 10% Nasdaq Composite (FNCMX) 5% REIT (FSRNX) 5% Emerging Markets (FPADX) Contribute the max annually, rebalance annually.
What do y'all think of mine? The goal isn't maximum returns but low drawdowns and a quick recovery from downturns to maintain principal with moderate growth in order to maintain a high PWR in retirement. 10% US Total Stock Market (FZROX) 30% US Small Cap Value (FISVX) 10% REIT (FSRNX) 5% Emerging Markets (FPADX) 25% Long Term Treasury (FNBGX) 20% Gold (SGOL) For the naysayers for gold investing check out [this](https://portfoliocharts.com/2021/12/16/three-secret-ingredients-of-the-most-efficient-portfolios/) article.
FPADX is Fidelity's emerging market index fund at 0.075%. FTIHX would still be the move for simplicity.
I've been investing in a Fidelity Roth IRA for about 3 years now. My portfolio is roughly mirroring the [Swenson Asset Allocation Portfolio](https://www.listenmoneymatters.com/swensen-portfolio/). Appreciate the feedback! ​ |FSKAX|Fidelity Total Market Index Fund|30%| |:-|:-|:-| |FSPSX|Fidelity International Index Fund|15%| |FSRNX|Fidelity Real Estate Index Fund|15%| |FPADX|Fidelity Emerging Markets Index Fund|10%| |FIPDX|Fidelity Inflation-Protected Bond Index Fund|15%| |FUAMX|Fidelity Intermediate Treasury Bond Index Fund|15%|
Moving from FEMKX to FPADX would not cause a wash sale.
Is it generally safe to move from an active mutual fund to an index fund to tax loss harvest and avoid wash sale? Looking at composition there is definitely overlap in the top 10 holdings, emerging markets active to emerging markets index FEMKX -> FPADX
>Is selling actively managed mutual funds and buying the index generally safe for avoiding wash sale? Yes - it is not a wash sale. ​ >Does moving to etfs make it even safer? If by safer - you are asking if buying an passive index etf after selling an actively managed mutual fund is considered a wash sale. It is not a wash sale. ​ >have FGIFX intl growth mostly developed FEMKX intl emerging, looking to buy FSPSX and FPADX I dont' see FGIFX. But if you are selling FEMKX to buy FSPSX and FPADX - that would not be a wash sale. For one thing - it's totally different sub-adviser.

You can go 83/8/9 sp500 mid cap small cap or just 100% sp500 for domestic allocation. You can go 75/25 FSPSX and FPADX if you want to follow market weights for total international.
Thanks and appreciate your take! re: your question — this is for a Fidelity taxable brokerage already holding VTI, VEA, and VWO. I am 80/20 equity/fixed and this is the 80 portion. Instead of manually buying each month, I want to use Fidelity's automatic investing which does not work on VTI++ for me (I think it requires using mutual funds not ETFs). - FEMKX vs FPADX: You're right, the expense ratio is much lower and the former is an active vs passive fund. I personally like the performance on FEMKX better ([comparison](https://www.portfoliovisualizer.com/fund-performance?s=y&symbol=FEMKX&symbols=FPADX&benchmark=VEMAX)) and think active funds in emerging markets aren't unreasonable. - I could also reallocate my portfolio such that FEMKX is held in a tax-advantaged account but I am feeling a little lazy about the effort.
>Off the top of my head, Vanguard uses Russell, Schwab uses MSCI, so its impactful. Fidelity's FTIHX, FSPSX (seems to be very common in 401Ks), FSGGX, and FPADX (the emerging only index fund) also seem to use MSCI. Of major index funds from Fidelity that I know of (that include emerging markets), that leaves FZILX, which follows Fidelity's own index.
Looking for some input on maybe a better option to invest then VWO and VEA in my taxable account. I had a few "investments " last year in my taxable account, but also holding VTI,VEA, and VWO. I've since sold off everything short term-ish in the account besides those 3 holdings and was going to take a little more hands off approach this year and let those 3 just be the main part of my account. I have a Roth funded and have a work 401k. I have a Fidelity account, and have been trying to get different options for VWO and VEA that maybe rolled into 1 Fidelity holding or 2. But googling my issue pretty much comes up with VXUS or just keeping VWO + VEA and let it roll. Expense ratios are not that high, but I cant find a Fidelity zero ratio like FZROX for that matter. ​ Looking there, it seems FPADX, FSKAX seem to be pretty good, but FTIHX seems to be possibly better because it covers developed and emerging markets and small cap. any input positive or negative would be appreciated, imo looking at all these funds/holdings really gets kind of overwhelming quickly.
