I g ot those figures from the Fidelity Freedom 2030 fund, which is the fund my 401(k) is in, which tends to move with the market as a whole. My taxable retirement portfolio actually performed slightly better in both years, but I didn't use those figures because they are more atypical of broad market moves, because they had a higher allocation in small and mid cap than FFFEX did. From Yahoo performance for FFFEX. I get the statements throughout the year every year. So the below figures are the correct ones. However, the YTD performance figures are offset by one year for some reason on Yahoo's site (no one made money in 2002). Below are the 1 year returns for each year listed. FFFEX 2003...28.42% 2004...10.45% From Yahoo historical prices: Dow 12/31/2002...8,341.63 12/31/2003...10,453.92...25% 12/31/2004...10,783.01...3% S&P500 12/31/2002...879.82 12/31/2003...1,111.92...26% 12/31/2004...1,211.92...9% Nasdaq 12/31/2002...1,335.51 12/31/2003...2,003.37...50% 12/31/2004...2,175.44...9%
