Seeking critique of my portfolio. I’m a basic investor so no true interest in options etc., at the moment. Currently invest:
Brokerage (taxable)
- FXNAX 10%
- FZILX. 25%
- FZROX 65%

Considering weighting the above 5%, 10%, 85% and moving the FXNX (Bonds) to Roth for tax reasons. Prefer mutual funds for auto investing.

Roth 401k (maxed out)
- Vanguard Target 2050

Roth (roughly split across the annual max limit)
- QQQ
- VTI
JEPI

Any advice or changes that should be made?

ETFs are generally more tax efficient, why are you holding MFs in your taxable account?

Why do you have bonds at your age?

TLT is a bond fund that happens to be an ETF.

Over long time frames bonds do much worse than equities. Leveraged Real Estate does better than both, but only when actively managed.

TLT may do well if the Fed decides to cut rates. But if they do, stocks will do better. Only way TLT does better than equities is if interest rates come down due to a recession.
