    401k - investments
    || Sarvam Krishna Arpanam ||

    Hi,

    I am on a H1b from India and I am planning to take a retirement plan.

    My employer has tied up with Vanguard. I would like to know which fund through Vanguard should I invest in.

    I will be quite happy with a fund that gives me negligible returns but has least probability of making a loss.

    I do understand that these investments are not risk free but I am looking for a plan which has the least risk.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Regards
    Prakash
