OT advise - Paul you advice to leave the principal untouched in the money market account and put future contributions into a large cap fund is too conservative, IMO.
For one, the low yield in the bank account (2.4%) surprises me, as I get 5% in my 401k plans stable value fund already. It's rippoff and you should point this out. Fundamentally i like your idea of a large cap fund, as this is an asset class that is probably undervalued and also less volatile. I would ask her to put an appropriate percentage of her existing account into this fund (25%) with the intention to dollar average another 25% next year into this or other funds available to her. Hopefully this way, she would get positive results from the mutual fund, which would entice her to take a larger risk and move more of her account into higher return options.
