FWIW – and at this point I should qualify that, at a fundamental level, I really don’t know what I’m doing* – the two investments I made around that time that have held up are AMAGX and LPT (now PLD). (This was after our 2nd kid was born and we set all these up in a college account.) There are some PAX World funds in there, too – but if they’ve done all right since the Great Recession, I’m not certain the same could be said if I picked a random date in the meantime and tracked it from there.
*I had Economics class in 12th grade and… that’s about it. (And the big takeaway from that class was to invest in bars of silver.)
