I just verified that I can contribute to a Roth without the backdoor for 2014, and will be adding $5500 to my Vanguard Roth IRA this week. I'm trying to decide if I should add another (likely international or small cap) fund, or just even out my current funds buying the ones I have less of.
I am 29, have a 10+ year time frame, and am not terribly risk averse but shy away from 100% stocks. Vanguard profile is a 90/10 AA right now, having started with 80/20 when I first opened it and gradually increasing to current as I added more equity focused funds.
My Roth holdings are:
Roth: VDEQX, Diversified Equity Fund ~13.3k
Roth: VDIGX, Dividend Growth Fund ~15.1k
Roth: VGHCX, Health Care Fund (Investor Shares) ~3.5k
Roth: VGSTX, STAR fund, ~8.3k (very open to reallocating this, it's a bit of a relic from when I opened the account as it has the lowest minimum)
For full picture, the rest of my holdings are:
Vanguard acct Taxable: VFIAX, S&P Index (Admiral Shares) ~14.9k
Vanguard acct Taxable: VIMAX, Mid-Cap Index (Admiral Shares) ~16k
Vanguard acct Taxable: VWELX, Wellington (Investor Shares) ~13.8k
Old Fidelity 401k: Fidelity Target 2040 Retirement ~37.8k
Old Fidelity 401k: Fidelity S&P 500 Index ~28.1k
Old Fidelity 401k: Fidelity Russell 2000 Index ~16.7k
Old Fidelity 401k: Fidelity International Index ~14.6k
Old Fidelity 401k: Company stock (oil) ~8.9k
Old Fidelity 401k: Fidelity Target 2050 Retirement ~5.2k
Old Fidelity 401k: Fidelity Emerging Markets Index ~5k
Current 401k: VBINX, Vanguard Balanced Index Inv, ~23k
Current 401k: VFINX, Vanguard 500 Index Investor, ~20.8k
Current 401k: LADYX, Lord Abbett Developing Growth I ~12.5k (.76% ER)
Current 401k: RERGX, American Funds EuroPacific Gr R6 ~10.5k (0.49% ER)
Current 401k: VEXMX, Vanguard Extended Market Idx ~12.2k
Questions:
1) Should I add a new fund to the Roth or add to what I have existing? If new any recommendations beyond the Total International Stock Index or Small Cap Index?
2) Should I bother rolling over my old 401k? The expense ratios in that account are all under 0.1% with the exception of the emerging market index (0.18%). If so, should I wait for oil prices to recover some since company stock makes up 7.5% of that account?
3) Should I be looking to get the small cap/international exposure elsewhere overall? My current 401k ERs for those (the only noted) are higher than optimal but not awful. This is part of why I'm considering adding an international or small cap vanguard fund to my Roth. I can't remember why I chose RERGX over VDVIX in the first place, perhaps I should change international funds within the 401 regardless of what I do with the Roth?
4) Should I ditch the STAR fund? That plus some 2014 contribution could get me the admiral shares of the Small Cap Index, or get me closer to admiral on another fund (unfortunately both the international and health still require 50k invested for admiral).
I know I've already asked a lot, but if anyone has other recommendations for my current 401k I'd also welcome them, these are what I have access to in it (ignoring a few high cost options I can't see myself using):
