What's this?

Congrats on picking the fund that outperformed the market, but


just for grins, you should go back and see what it's 11 year return is. Your fund might have outperformed the last ten years because it fell off a steeper cliff than the indexes during the great recession. Ten years is just capturing the recovery. You still would have done well, but maybe not market beating.

I did the math about a year ago, and an investment in the S&P 500 made in October 2007 would have almost doubled in the decade since.

  Just to clarify - did the fund actually split, or did the mutual fund -- Hokie360 08/13/2018 11:42AM
  It is a true split -- RTFC 08/13/2018 11:50AM
