>I was these FZROX + FZILX funds conservative due to their exposure to OVERALL domestic & International instead of just Large carp(FXAIX or SP500) or some blue chip-specific funds.

But small caps are riskier than large caps (and have better expected long term returns than large caps do). So while you have more holdings, the extra holdings are more aggressive than the more narrow option.

Wow. That's a lot.

>Would you recommend All-In on FZROX instead?

No. I'd go the opposite: basically double FZILX (so 60% FZROX + 40% FZILX), as that is roughly the current global market cap weight.

Would you say FXAIX instead of FZROX?

No. Did I say something that would suggest that?

FXAIX is more conservative than FZROX and has lower expected long term returns. "Small" is a compensated risk factor, FZROX gives you some exposure to that while FXAIX didn't give you any.
