Verizon Communications Inc. 401(k): best low-cost funds
Verizon Savings Security Plan For Mid-atlantic Associates · Plan #004 · Basking Ridge, NJ
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.
