Invest everything in FXAIX and just leave it there. It has very low expense and will consistently grow well over time.

I would invest it according to the target asset allocation in my investment policy statement, which in my case would be an approximately market weight mix of FSKAX and FTIHX.

If you don't have an investment policy statement with a target asset allocation, then now would be a great time to do that.

Why do you have $300k in a lump? Where did it come from? Did it emerge gradually or suddenly?

What are you investing in now? How big is your portfolio?

What are your objectives and time horizon?

Thanks for the advice!

I’m considering building up my I bonds to eventually replace my 6 month expenses emergency savings account. Any downsides I’m not considering? If I slowly ramp up and ladder, I can partially withdraw any amount if I need to after a year. Even with lower inflation in the future, I’m guessing it’s going to beat a savings account yield.

Too few accounts currently paid as agreed

Scores consider the number of accounts that are paid as agreed. Your score was impacted because the number of these accounts is too low, or because you've missed payments recently on some of your accounts.
