- 22What funds and allocations should I pick for a new Roth IRA?Setting up a new retirement account requires deciding on specific mutual funds and asset allocation ratios without knowing how to structure them. This leaves investors stuck trying to figure out the right mix across multiple accounts like a 401(k), Roth IRA, and brokerage.

This leaves people unsure whether to use high-yield savings accounts, short-term Treasuries, or employer retirement matches that carry heavy vesting penalties upon departure.
