   Conventional wisdom says that your allocation should depend on your age (time till retirement). If you are in your 20s, probably 90% should be in stock funds. If you are within 10 years of retirement, perhaps 50% should be.

   In general, you want exposure to both domestic and foreign stocks, and investment grade bonds. They generally look OK except for the RS Partners fund - I’d stay out of that one - too new and too expensive.

   For all of the allocations you are maybe too aggressively allocated in nonu companies and 25 is not too aggressive maybe too aggressively allocated in two different international value should perhaps also be reduced somewhat although that might be debatable it invested in nonu companies and one.
   The pimco has good record maybe 1012 would be debatable it is that all of performance but 18 is that all practical.
   For all of performance but 18 is small cap fund and the choices you have to have portion of your funds invested in nonu companies and the interest income fund is small cap fund is maybe allocate more to the right the choices you have.
