if that capital world growth is from American funds YOU GOT A TOTAL WINNER!!!!!!!!! I own the CWGFX version of it.
Now then I typed in the ticker symbols, put it on http://www.morningstar.com tools then x-ray and this is what i got
56% US Stock 35% Foreign. .44 bonds (from your capital world growth) and 8% cash eh...
You are large cap heavy with 28% value, 31% core and 32% growth. Not bad but You should consider some mid to small caps.
Stock sector 21.23 to and S&P rating of 20 not bad at all tech is good. 37.67 to 45.66 service you are weak in financials with your growth funds and you may miss out when the financials rally. Manfacturing 41.10 to 34.42 Overweight in Energy and Industrial materials. Careful.
You got a 38% classic growth not bad its safe.
Expense ratio 1.45% this is too high (and in all actuality my only beef) My CWGFX is .75%
Country Region 65.23% North america, 22.69 UK/western Europe, 3.28 japan 1.15 latin america, 6.62 asix-ex japan. and 1.04 listed as other. Nice balance I like it.
With the exception of the expense ratio you got some winners on here. American Funds is one of the better fund families to own and they didn't have any spitzer issues. I'll bless it not bad at all keep the money going into it and let it ride. But do consider a mid or small cap. |

Sorry I don't know anything about your investments, but I had a 401K and it was good for me, especially when I put it into a mutual fund with a bank. That way you are granted a certain % so that if the market goes really bad you don't loose any money. |

Depends on your age and how long till you are eligible for retirement. The younger you are the more your portfolio can withstand high risk. The older, the less risk. Your plan administrator should break down for you relative risk values of hte different funds. |

yes,
that looks well diversified, but I don't know much about the funds. Talk to your financial advisor (or ask HR about who you should talk to) about risk and decide how much risk exposure is right for you. They may help you adjust your percentages and give you good advice that fits your needs. I recomend investing the maximum ammount that your company will match. Literally in like 5 years you will have a chunk o' change. |

looks real good to me -- at your age you might take 5% from ICA and put in cap world and when you get about 55 switch back. |

When you receive your statements in the mail, or online, you can tell if there has been growth. (money made). Then you will know to change or keep them.
It would help to read up on these options also. |

If you are young go aggressive and then as you get older change it to more conservative. Those look mid-level. |
