Sell to buy VTSMX or buy VTI with new money

[musicinv]

Hello network,

I am interested in owning VTSMX in my Roth IRA. Below lists my current mutual funds that I have had for the last 10 years in my IRA, with the corresponding expense ratios. Except for VFICX and the REIT I have roughly equal amounts of money invested in each. In these two the value is considerably less. My question is should I sell a portion of the funds listed below to acquire the $10,000 minimum required for VTSMX. If so, should I sell more of the fund with the highest operating cost or shave about $2k from each? OR should I just add any new money to VTI and keep my current holdings? Thank you.

For such a small amount of money, you have way too many funds. Just put it all in VTSAX. If you want to have bonds, put at least $10k in VTSAX, and whatever bond portion can stay in VFICX.

A lot of people with a million dollars invested just have 3 or 4 funds (VTSAX, VTIAX, and a bond fund like Total Bond).
