How does this mixture look for my 14yo son’s Roth IRA?
A parent shares a diversified ETF portfolio for a 14yo's Roth IRA, seeking community feedback on the long-term growth allocation.
- Diversified portfolio combining broad market index funds with targeted growth and value tilts
- Long-term compounding strategy optimized for a minor's tax-advantaged Roth IRA
This will be maxed out annually by parents from now through college. Yes, he has the qualifying income required for a minor’s Roth IRA. I came to this mixture after weeks of research and also running it through both Claude and ChatGPT at the very end just to see what they rated the mixture for long term. I didn’t use AI for any of the actual choices; it was strictly for an opinion on how it looked overall for very long-term growth.

I’m curious to see other’s opinions on my choices and percentages.
