Keep your nerve!

Index returns are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent actual fund performance. Index returns do not reflect any management fees, transaction costs or expenses. Indices are unmanaged and one cannot invest directly in an index. Source: Dalbar, March 2013. Returns calculated in USD with an end date of December 31, 2012. The equity index is represented by S&P 500 Index, the fixed income index by Barclays Aggregate Bond Index. Average U.S. equity investor and average U.S. fixed income investor results are calculated using data supplied by the Investment Company Institute. Investor returns are represented by the change in total mutual fund assets after excluding sales, redemption, and exchanges. This method of calculation captures realized and unrealized capital gains, dividends, interest, trading costs, sales charges, fees, expenses and any other costs.
