Re: Suggestions for the Wiki
Hello. Would anyone be willing to update the wiki article section "Approximating total international for TSP I for investors with access to a MSCI EAFE fund?" Or is the wiki article still accurate?
I utilize my employer's 401k which offers a Fidelity fund named Spartan Developed International Index Pool Class E. I utilize this Fidelity fund instead of the wiki articles suggestion of VDVIX. I believe these are both developed market index funds for international.
I can see why the article has not been updated since 2016 because at the bottom of the article there is a lot of explanation and nuance when it comes to approximating total international.
Thanks. Good luck. It is beyond my abilities.

Hi,
I looked at the page. It's not clear to me how to update this page, either. Instead, I took a stab at answering your 401(k) question here: Re: Wiki Article help: Approximating Total International

Re: Suggestions for the Wiki
In the Bond basics article, there's a broken link to a non-existent ID on the page. The sentence after the first paragraph is "Note: Those looking for a "very basic" introduction to bonds should start with the tutorial at the bottom of this page." and "tutorial" links to "https://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/Bond_basics#Tutorial".
Looking back at the article history, the "Tutorial" section was really just some links to various investopedia.com pages. Maybe one of those pages was an actual tutorial at the time? Hard to say.
Anyway I propose we remove the sentence "Note: Those looking for a "very basic" introduction to bonds should start with the tutorial at the bottom of this page." I don't think it needs a replacement. Thoughts?

Hi,
I'm the creator of Backtest, the backtesting tool for European index investors. I built it to scratch my own itch at first. Other backtesting tools like Portfolio Visualizer or Portfolio Charts target US investors so couldn't backtest my portfolio, as the funds and ETFs available in Europe aren't always the same. Over time, as a result of user requests, I've added more and more funds and indexes. It now has about 220 indexes, representing about 680 funds. And this number is growing! I focus only on index funds and ETFs that are available to European investors.
As such, I would like to suggest Backtest to be added to the Tools and calculators page of the wiki. I think it'll be an addition for European Bogleheads visiting that page.
Thank you for considering,
Yoran

Re: Suggestions for the Wiki
1. On https://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/Highly_ ... d_employee its says a HCE is $139k but the reference given (IRS) says $130k. $139k is the Roth phase out.
2. How about we change https://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/After-tax_401(k) to be "Mega Backdoor Roth" as the title? Mega Backdoor is a special case of after-tax and I think after-tax can also apply to other things such as variable deferred annuities (which go in after-tax for non-qualified). We could have a page just for after-tax which compares it against taxable investing as one example as to after-tax being a separate thing from mega backdoor.
3. I think in https://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/Rolling ... bond_funds under "Reasons for Choosing Declining or Constant Duration" it should include for "constant duration" that the return is usually greater than with a declining duration (higher durations have higher risk/return). The only reason cited there is that the future time horizon is unknown.

Do you have any sources for your statement? Duration is a sensitivity of interest rate risk to price. I don't understand how this relates to bond returns and will defer to the experts.
I understand that long term bonds have a lot of volatility until they reach their maturity date, but I'm not comfortable updating this section of the wiki page.

Re: Suggestions for the Wiki
Okay, the the first method is a declining duration and the latter is a fixed duration, its not explicitly stated but the implication is that the first method has a shorter duration than the fixed or at least a shorter one at some point. Next assertion is that longer duration has more risk and that risk is compensated with a greater return, but at the cost of more volatility.LadyGeek wrote: ↑Sat Jun 05, 2021 7:45 pmYou're referring to: Reasons for Choosing Declining or Constant Durationdafioram wrote: ↑Thu Jun 03, 2021 6:51 pm 3.

The current verbiage in the section makes the declining duration sound better than the constant duration. I think adding the greater return possibility makes the trade between them more clear.
Someone else may want to comment on what I've said.

Re: Suggestions for the Wiki
Would suggest adding a section to the wiki on ESPP and RSU plans. AFAICT there are not sections on these, but they come up a lot on the forum (particularly for those in tech). As these can become significant portions of employees' compensation, it would be helpful to explain how these work (ESPP in particular can be pretty complicated to understand), what the taxes look like, and how one should evaluate them when comparing job offers (or the case of ESPP deciding whether to participate).

Not sure proper way to make comments to the wiki but I think the following text on the Fidelity page is outdated right?
https://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/FidelityThe transaction fees to buy Vanguard mutual funds at Fidelity are quite high --$75 for the first purchase, but subsequent purchases can be $5 per purchase if you set up an automatic investment plan. Admiral Class shares are not available for purchase at Fidelity. Vanguard has ETF equivalents for most of its index funds. Like other stocks and ETFs, Vanguard ETFs can be bought and sold at Fidelity commission free. If you want to use actual Vanguard products, using Vanguard ETFs is probably the cheapest way to do so at Fidelity.

Suggestions for the Wiki - Social Security Office of the Chief Actuary Information
[Merged into ongoing topic - mod oldcomputerguy]
There recently have been a few discussions on Social Security questions. If the following source of information is not already listed on the Wiki topic of SS, it may be helpful to some, it is the Office of the Chief Actuary for Social Security.
https://www.ssa.gov/oact/
Stephen Goss has been Chief Actuary since 2001 and been with SSA for quite a few years prior. I believe he may have worked or crossed paths with Robert Myers who created much of the SS structure. Mr Goss has presented topics at a number of actuarial conferences that were extremely informative and useful. This web site provides definitive answers on social security calculations and the underlying data/formulas, it seems more so than what I've found elsewhere on the ssa.gov website.

Error in Wiki on Non-Spousal Beneficiaries of Roth IRA?
[Thread merged into here --admin LadyGeek]
The wiki (https://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/Inheriting_a_Roth_IRA) notes in part the following which I've copied below but isn't a non-spousal beneficiary under a 10 year draw down following the owners death per the SECURE Act? Thanks.
Non-spousal beneficiaries
Whereas a Roth IRA account owner is, under current regulations, not required to take distributions from a Roth IRA, a non-spousal beneficiary of a Roth IRA is required to make distributions from the account. There are two options for deferred distribution (a beneficiary can always take a lump sum distribution or withdraw more than the required minimum distribution, although doing so eliminates the tax-free compounding of investment returns):
Rule 1: The Five Year Rule- Receive the entire distribution by December 31 of the fifth year following the year of the owner's death.
Rule 2: Lifetime Withdrawals- Receive the entire distribution over your life, or over a period not extending beyond your life.[6] These distributions are required minimum distributions (RMD) taken from the IRS Single Life Expectancy (Table 1). [7] The table provides a divisor factor, based on the beneficiary's age. The beneficiary divides this factor into the year end value of the Roth IRA to determine the required minimum distribution. The divisor factor is reduced by 1 for each succeeding year. It is important to note that for non-spousal beneficiaries the IRS life expectancy table is not referred to again for annual RMD calculations. All subsequent RMDs are based on the initial life expectancy of the beneficiary with a reduction in the divisor factor by 1 for each succeeding year, as opposed to an annual recalculation of life expectancy based on IRS tables.
