Navy Federal Credit Union 401(k): best low-cost funds
Navy Federal 401(k) Savings Plan · Plan #002 · Merrifield, VA
Suggested simple Boglehead mix
The public data doesn't show enough index funds from this plan to suggest a full mix. A typical Boglehead approach: look in your menu for a US total market or S&P 500 index fund, an international index fund, and a US bond index fund, all with expense ratios under about 0.10%. Or use one low-cost target-date index fund. How the 3-fund portfolio works.
