Mistake to overallocate in low expense funds for 401K?
The following are the funds available for me to invest in through my firm's 401K with each expense ratio:
1. Gold Sachs Short Durat Gov (GSTGX)- .54 2. Dodge Cox Inc (DODIX)- .44 3. American Funds American Hi INc (RITEX)- .72 4. American Beacon Lrg Cp Value (AAGPX)- .86 5. Davis NY Venture (NYVTX)- .89- 4.75% Front Load [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] 6. Vanguard 500 Ind (VFINX)- .18 7. American Funds Grth Fund (RGAEX)- .68 8. Gold Sachs Md Cap Val (GSMCX)- .82 9. Vanguard Mid Cap Ind (VIMSX)- .22 10. Northern SmallCp Val (NOSGX)- 1.00 11. T.Rowe New HOriz (PRNHX)- .84 12. American Funds Euro Pac (REREX)- .83 13. Dodge Cox INt Stck (DODFX)- .7 Obviously I know i need to diversify etc. But these expense ratios on the whole seem really high. Would it be a big mistake to heavily weight my 401K in the Vanguard funds specifically the 500 INdex, due to their much lower exp ratios? Also, how does a fund with a front end load effect me if it makes up a small part of my 401K portfolio? I feel like i have a pretty crappy selection to pick from. Is there anything i can do to have better funds to choose from? What about this allocation: DODIX- 10% VFINX- 25% RGAEX- 25% VIMSX- 15% PRHNX- 10% DODFX- 15% |
