Reach your investment goals with these plans using our favorite no-load mutual funds. Thinkstock By Nellie S. Huang, Senior Associate Editor March 21, 2017 We've constructed three portfolios using only funds from the Kiplinger 25, our list of our favorite no-load mutual funds, designed for investors with different goals, time horizons and levels of risk tolerance. (See Kiplinger's 25 Favorite Funds for the complete list of funds with their performances.) If you find them too aggressive, cut back each basket's allocation to stocks by up to ten percentage points. If you're bullish on stocks and don't lose sleep when the market turns hostile, cut back on your allocation to bond funds and hold more in stock funds.See Also Our Complete Guide to the Kiplinger 25 For Retirement: 11+ years away With growth as the primary goal, this portfolio holds 85% in stock funds, with one bond fund (Pimco Income D) for a touch of ballast.
