Just had about 200k drop into my vanguard traditional IRA brokerage from a company distribution. Should I DCA it or go ahead and dump it all into a fund? Planning on doing VFIAX or open to other suggestions. Most of my portfolio is already in VFIAX.

Where is the money now? You can only put 6k a year into your IRA. Is the money in your 401k or tax deferred account?

How? The limit is 6k a year.

How was it invested before?
If it was invested in stocks before then there’s no rationale to DCA, just because money moved to a new wrapper.
Of course if you want to re-evaluate your portfolio that’s fine too.

The current environment is likely favorable to high dividend, large cap stocks. Vanguard has funds for that.

Its supposed to be a tax deferred roll over from an ESOP.

I have a lot of exposure to big tech and sp500 across my brokerage account and retirement accounts. I recently opened a Roth IRA and have 6k in it to invest. I know the default strategy is to invest in a fund that tracks sp500 but I do that everywhere else regularly. Is there anything else like VYM you recommend? I’m targeting dividend growth ones since it’s a Roth IRA ..
