Gilead Sciences, Inc. 401(k): best low-cost funds
Gilead Sciences 401(k) Plan · Plan #001 · Foster City, CA
Suggested simple Boglehead mix
The public data doesn't show enough index funds from this plan to suggest a full mix. A typical Boglehead approach: look in your menu for a US total market or S&P 500 index fund, an international index fund, and a US bond index fund, all with expense ratios under about 0.10%. Or use one low-cost target-date index fund. How the 3-fund portfolio works.

FAQ
What are the best low-cost funds in the Gilead Sciences, Inc. 401(k)?
