Personal Investments • Re: Approximating total stock market with three funds: regrets?

Will I not need to re-balance among the three US funds if I want it to continue to track the total market? If I must, then I am exposing myself to unnecessary tax liability that I could have simply avoided by going for a total market fund?

Given that I can easily access a total stock market ETF or MF for all my accounts, should I move things over into that?
I personally would not pay a lot of tax just for clean-up purposes. The holdings are already mostly S&P 500, which strongly tracks Total Stock Market, so I would just keep that. To keep things trending in the desired direction, I would direct all dividends to TSP, as well as all new investments in US stocks. As you say, it might be a good time for transitioning if a crash downsizes the gains in the non S&P 500. If the gains turned to losses you could even harvest them and save a little on taxes.

If you are contributing to the retirement accounts, over time you will gain more room to do desired rebalancing there, without tax consequences.
