I contributed to my Roth IRA - but my income for 2016 exceeds the limits. I need to recharacterize the contributions and redirected the ones for this year. I have no idea where I should park the money, though... I keep my funds at Vanguard. Aside from a mix of IRAs, I have a target retirement fund in which I parked some other money. Do I put it there, or is there something else I should be considering.

Thanks!

That could be reasonable.

Maybe.

First, decide what you want for an overall Asset allocation, then determine your Tax-efficient fund placement.
