Description
The plan consists of 10 funds. It covers 5 major asset classes and 10 minor asset classes. The major asset classes it covers are US Equity, Emerging Market Equity, Foreign Equity, Fixed Income and REITs.

Alexander Green proposed this The Gone Fishin' Portfolio which was outlined in his book 'The Gone Fishin' Portfolio'. Based on the book, the following is the allocation using Vanguard low cost index funds (in the popular Bogleheads forum, there is a discussion thread devoted to this portfolio):

Vanguard Total Stock Market Index (VTSMX) - 15% 
Vanguard Small-Cap Index (NAESX) - 15% 
Vanguard European Stock Index (VEURX) - 10% 
Vanguard Pacific Stock Index (VPACX) - 10% 
Vanguard Emerging Markets Index (VEIEX) - 10% 
Vanguard Short-term Bond Index (VFSTX) - 10% 
Vanguard High-Yield Corporates Fund (VWEHX) - 10% 
Vanguard Inflation-Protected Securities Fund (VIPSX) - 10% 
Vanguard REIT Index (VGSIX) - 5% 
Vanguard Precious Metals Fund (VGPMX) - 5%

It is rebalanced once a year. MyPlanIQ maintains this static or lazy portfolio here.

Based on the http://www.gonefishinportfolio.com web site, the following is the historical performance from 2003-2009 which matches exactly to MyPlanIQ's Alex Green Gone Fishin Lazy Portfolio :

This portfolio should be compared with this plan's SAA or TAA growth portfolios as it has 20% safe fixed income exposure and in MyPlanIQ, we classify High Yield bond as a risky asset.
