Balanced Funds

[Sybil]

Is anyone investing in one of the so-called 'balanced' funds? How are they performing?

I put about half my money into the eMaxisSlim 8-way balanced fund and the other half into stock funds. For me it's an easy way to get diversification without the hassle of rebalancing. As for performance, I've only been using it for a year and a half so it's a bit early to tell.

I'll investigate the eMaxisSlim 8-way balanced fund. It could be a decent option.
