43M just started a Roth IRA last year

I just started a Roth IRA in April 2025. I'm looking for some advice on making sure I have a good portfolio to contribute and grow. I recently consolidated my portfolio

From

  • FSKAX 50%
  • PSPGX 13%
  • FTIHX 15%
  • FUMBX 6%
  • GLD 14%

To just 3 funds

  • FSKAX - FIDELITY TOTAL MARKET INDEX FUND - 75%
  • FSSNX - FIDELITY SMALL CAP INDEX FUND - 5%
  • FTIHX - FIDELITY TOTAL INTL INDEX FUND - 20%

Is this mix good?

Should I continue with Fidelity mutual funds or go with something else? If so any recommendations?

43M Looking for advice on my ECAP VOYA 401k

I have an ECAP Voya account with my employer that does 6% matching. I wanted to get a recommendation on a good portfolio. Here's what they provide for options.

Stability of Principal

  • Stable Value Fund

Bonds

  • Bond Fund

Large Cap Value/Blend

  • State Street S&P 500 Index Fund
  • US Structured Research Strategy
  • Russell 1000 Value Index Fund

Large Cap Growth

  • Russell 1000 Growth Index Fund

Small/Mid/Specialty

  • State Street Russell Small Cap Index Fund - Class A

Global/International

  • Capital Group EUPAC Trust
  • EAFE Stock Index Fund

Asset Allocation

  • LifePath Retirement Income
  • LifePath 2030
  • LifePath 2035
  • LifePath 2040
  • LifePath 2045
  • LifePath 2050
  • LifePath 2055
  • LifePath 2060
  • LifePath 2065
  • LifePath 2070

Other

  • The Self-Directed Brokerage Account

They have a recommendation engine, which I had been using pretty regularly on the most aggressive setting and adjust intermittently. This is what it currently suggests.

  • Russell Large Cap Growth Index 11%
  • Russell Large Cap Value Index 13%
  • Russell Small Cap Index Fund 10%
  • EAFE Stock Index Fund 18%
  • S&P 500 Stock Index Fund 26%
  • Bond Fund 7%
  • Capital Group EUPAC Growth Trust 5%
  • US Structured Research Strategy 10%

Does anyone have thoughts on whether these recommendation engines are good and if the portfolio they suggest is good? Last year I had a rate of return of 17%. It seems to fluctuate between 8-18% per year.
