I am looking to revamp my portfolio somewhat and I would like to try to accomplish two goals with 1 mutual fund: a) Increase my foreign percent. Current % is 8.5 - Large Cap Value. I would like to get my foreign up to between 10-15%.
b) Obtain a yield above 3.5% . I would like to get some yield to use as income, capital gains would be reinvested (probably) The fund needs to be available through Fidelity (TF is ok), but no load. In screening funds, these four seemed to have possibilities: AFJDX – Allianz NFJ International Value Large Cap Value Expense 1.46% Yield 3.15% Managers: 2 – 5 years Return 3 years: 27.3% OPIEX – Optique International Value Large Cap Value Expense 1.38% Yield 4.56% Managers: 8 to 10 years Return 3 year: 15.09 Return 5 year: 18.60 TAVIX – Third Avenue International Value Medium/Small Value Expense 1.45% Yield 3.49% Managers: 7 years Return 3 year: 11.86% Return 5 year: 21.80% LZSMX – Lazard International Small Cap Medium/Small Growth Expense 1.20% Yield 3.46% Managers: 1 to 15 years Return 3 year: 10.91% Return 5 year: 18.80% I am leaning towards the LZSMX due to being able to add medium/small foreign exposure with a decent expense ratio. I would appreciate your thoughts both on the plan, and the possible funds. Thanks, LR
