Target-Date Funds are the simplest investment strategy.

Asset allocation is the single most important part of an investment strategy. Target-Date Funds are the easiest way to implement the proper asset allocation. If you only saved into Target-Date Funds for your entire career, you will be just fine. The combination of low cost, diversified stocks, and proper bond weighting work for everyone. But if you wanted to try to grow your net worth more, try an all stock index ETF like VT or ACWI.
