My employer recently switched HSA custodians, so I'm having to change my allocations as some of the fund options are no longer available. I was previously invested 80/20 in VITSX/VBTLX. With the new custodian, I have access to VIIIX, VEMPX, and VBMPX (plus others, but these are the lowest expense ratios.) I understand that VIIIX tracks the S&P500, but it isn't a total market fund like VITSX was, so I'd likely want to hold some portion of VEMPX in addition to that. I'm not sure what percentage of that I should hold. Assuming I'd like to keep 20% in bonds, would 60/20/20 between VIIIX/VEMPX/VBMPX be similar, or should I go 65/15/20 or 70/10/20?
VIIX is the institutional share class of the same fund as VOO. If you want to get closer to VTI, you could do 80% VIIX and 20% VEMPX.
my 403b is in VEMPX AND VIIIX.
VEMPX is one of my favorites in my retirement portfolio.
If you like Vanguard see if your 401K offers VEMPX. Also if you are young I would suggest moving out of the target fund and just allocate everything yourself. This is not financial advice. Do whatever you feel to be beneficial for you.
