Any fans of Vanguard's Wellington fund here?

I'd be curious as to your opinion of this fund since it seems to be a "do it all for you" fund.

Yes, Wellington is a great fund. Nice mix of stocks and bonds. Vanguard keeps expenses low too. You should get about 8% a year with it.

I like hording money to throw at the Vanguard Emerging Markets funds. They illicit a lame 0.50% fee to deposit or withdraw, but when it's earning upwards of 20% annually, I'm not going to complain. Wellington is a nice investment, but I'm more risk-taking so I want to try to get bigger returns.
