Fidelity or TIAA-CREF for retirement

[TraumaRN]

Hey all, wondering if I could get a little investment advice, just got a new job, I have a choice of 2 retirement 403(b) plans. Either Fidelity or TIAA-CREF.

I have no experience with either company. My choices are either 100% of either company or I can split my investment 50-50.

Any help would be appreciated!

I'd split it so you have a wider array of fund choices.

I have fidelity and their guaranteed interest income fund (5% +/-) saved me alot of money when the market tanked.All the people that I work with had market based 401k's and they lost their ass,while I made money.Of course if you are just starting out,take more risk.

Get the list of funds for each and pick the funds you want, that will decide the ratio for you.

I know Fidelity is much mostly focused on actively managed funds instead of index funds, but they have a few and those funds might be in your fund list. There's no way for us to know that, you need to ask.

fidelity, trowe, vanguard are the three I hear are the best.

I have TIAA-CREF. I should be able to retire comfortably when I'm 92

Fidelity, especially if you can get their Spartan funds with near zero expense ratios.
