The ones with a greater percentage of stocks have a higher risk associated with them. An example of this is the Janus Growth and Income D (JNGIX) that has 98% of its assets in stocks.  While the inverse is true, the great the percentage of bonds in the assts, then more conservative and lower risk the mutual fund is.
