For example, Fidelity Four-In-One Index Fund, an asset-allocation fund, holds four Fidelity index funds, with an overall mix of 85 percent of assets in stocks and 15 percent in bonds. The fund charges 0.11 percent of assets annually for a portfolio that includes stocks of large, midsize and small U.S. companies, shares of foreign companies in developed markets, and corporate and government bonds.

The New York Stock Exchange, Chicago Stock Exchange and Nasdaq Inc. are all awaiting decisions by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on whether they can delay trades through so-called "speed bumps" and new order types.
