TS, great thread for creating awareness on index fund investment.

Did you miss out the two other type of index funds in your recommendation, i.e. world/international and bond ?

Then it is index fund investment lo...not true boglehead investment. Although not, it's still good investment strategy.

I came across boglehead investment strategy while searching for the all weather portfolio months back. Frankly I have not started to follow yet because I have other priorities for my fund.

Don't worry about that. I am still learning too.

While I may have read about boglehead, I would only choose 2 index types only, USA & EM markets to ensure no overlapping, as international or worldwide fund would already included the USA market in its portfolio. So we just need to ensure these market are really exclusive of one another, just in case either market drop.

How low will the S&P 500 go? Buffett and Shiller know - https://on.mktw.net/2sGuaNp

Highlight :
Financial experts predicted next 10 years till 2028, S&P 500 returns projection between +2.6% to -4.1%.

So don't just stick to this one index only.

Earlier, I have shared this link in another thread. Similar to the post above, Grantham seems to say the same thing about the poor returns for US stocks but he predicted this for up to 20 years..
