I know the benefits of S&P 500 / total US market ETFs “set it and forget it strategy”, and have read The Intelligent Investor, Simple Path to Wealth, and Bogle’s works. However, if I’m in my 20s is it a good idea to do a good % in growth mutual fund / ETF? Is anyone else doing this?

There are ETFs that specifically track growth stocks if that’s what you are referring to. Not all ETFs are created equal, each one tracks differently. Some are about as risky as a stock, some are extremely safe

Thanks. Yes - just adjusted post for clarity.

If you’re in your20s you can get away with a large %. I have 30% growth index fund in a retirement account and would be comfortable going is to 40%.Another third is VTSAX. As I’m in my 20s I invest 100% in equities.

The problem with any active fund is things can change... investment strategy, fund managers, market sector performance...

The beauty of an index fund is it will rebalance itself over time and provide a lot of diversification with minimal fees, independent of the humans running the fund

My 2c is you are young and or have a higher risk tolerance is to go 100% equities with index funds and possibly diversified holding companies like Berkshire Hathaway

Thanks! Agreed - will stick to ETFs where possible. Am currently 100% equities, was just looking to do some yearly rebalancing :)
