Disregard

The minimum initial investment on this fund is: $ 100,000. At this time, I'm out of that league.

No, 100K min is stiff. Their expense ratio of the regular one is also very low.

FUSEX for the Investor class of this fund.

Fidelity says $100,000 minimum for the investor class, but all their other spartan funds investor class have $10,000 minimums I believe.

Sure. Age 25. FIRE in 7-10 years. Been investing for a few years.

Investing in a globally diversified portfolio of mainly index funds (Vanguard and Fidelity).

12.5%, 12.5% - FSTMX, FSEMX - Fidelity total mkt index and fido extended mkt index - FSTMX, FSEMX (these are forced on me by my employer's 401k)

5% - VSCIX - VG Small Cap index

10% - VISVX - Vanguard Small cap value index

10% - VIVIX - VG Value index (these are institutional shares - find the retail shares)

20% - VGTSX - VG Total Intl index

7.5% - VPACX - VG Pacific index

10% - VEIEX - VG Emergind Mkts index

12.5% - VTRIX - VG Intl Value

Rebalance annually.

Im fairly certain if you are investing with Fidelity through a company plan they waive the minimum's.
