Wow, I did not hear about this! This will actually be great for people who are not really into investing. Simple purchase this fund, a bond index fund, and perhaps a small cap value fund.

@Jason:

You could buy both the Total Stock Market Index Fund and the Global Index Fund. To achieve 80/20 distribution of domestic to global, you could allocate your funds like such:

80% = 100% y + 45% x

x + y = 100%

y = 64% TSMIF
x = 36% GSMIF

“One question I always had about a “all in one�? etf is how do you rebalance? Or do you just rebalance between equities and bonds.”

You got it.

This is pretty cool.

The expense ration of 0.25 is a bit higher than the existing etfs but it’s convenient.

One question I always had about a “all in one” etf is how do you rebalance? Or do you just rebalance between equities and bonds.

Another things is that it’s hard to imagine most people outside the US wanting to have that little invested in their own currency. In Canada I like to have at least 20% in Canadian equities even though that is very much overweight.
