I got out of realestate funds this year. I went hard on emerging markets and asia for a variety of reasons. I keep about 30 percent in blue chip.

4 funds max.

How manny fund selections do you guys have in your plan. Are you also allowed to buy stock or is it simply a fidelity run show as it is at my company?

I believe he was asking the number of funds that we have to choose from not how many were in our individual accounts. Its in the neighboorhood of 50 something choices I think. But just in case I read this wrong - I hold 3 funds in my 401k. There is an option for a self directed management I believe but as I understand it, it is quite expensive and you are better off just opening an e-trade account and doing it on the side. Good luck!

I got out of realestate funds this year.

4 funds max.

The Real Estate fund (unless I am misinformed) includes all Real Estate, new and existing home sales, apartment stuff, leasing, and other stuff. So even if the housing market isn't doing well, the fund may still be doing good. And checking now, that fund has had a YTD return of 32.25% as of the close of business yesterday. I might hang on to this one a little while longer.

Good luck!

50 funds is quite a broad plan. Sounds like a good deal. Lots of options for your money.

[JustInfo]

I dumped about 1/2 of mine into the Latin America Fund as well last year, it has been great, haven't looked at my Personal Return lately, was around 16% a month or so ago.

 

[Diesel]

Hey wolf we get the higher percentage because we don't have to give half of it to the ex wife.
