What we like about this retirement plan: This plan covers the domestic large cap asset classes well, but...
What could improve your retirement plan: This
plan could benefit by adding both domestic and foreign small cap value
funds. We'd also like to see an international emerging markets fund.
Our Honeywell 401(k) Plan Recommendations
Here
you will find our recommended asset allocation depending on the level
of risk you decide to take. To determine your tolerance for risk so
that you can choose the portfolio that's right for you, be sure to read
the articles linked on our homepage. It's important that you understand
the basis for our recommendations, because you'll be more likely to
implement them and stay the course. If you have questions, check out
our FAQs.
Aggressive Portfolio
When
you want to take out all the stops and "go for it," this is the
portfolio for you. Equally at home in the U.S. and abroad, this
combination is a favorite of young investors with plenty of time before
retirement. It's also suited for those on a fast track who want or need
all the speed and distance they can get from their investments. Because
100 percent of the portfolio is in equities, the only buffer against
the slings and arrows of the market is time. But if you've got the
time, this is the way to go. Our expected annual return for this
portfolio is 10 to 13 percent, with the likely one year loss of 30 to
40 percent.
Moderate Portfolio
This
combination is a fine choice for many employees and especially for
long-term investors. Its 60 percent weighting in equities gives it
plenty of power for stock market growth, while the 40 percent in
fixed-income provides stability and safety during declines in the
market. This portfolio is most suitable for investors with five or more
years until they will need their money. Our expected annual return for
this portfolio is 7 to 10 percent, with the likely one year loss of 15
to 25 percent.
Conservative Portfolio
This
combination stresses safety, with a mix of 40 percent equities and 60
percent fixed-income investments. It is most suitable for investors who
consider themselves conservative, who are close to or past the age of
retirement or who, for whatever reason, care more about holding onto
their money than making it grow. Our expected annual return for this
portfolio is 6 to 9 percent, with the likely one year loss of 5 to 15
percent.
