TO ALL, RE: Capital Gains in Index Funds I just went over to Vanguard.com to see the magnitude of the capital gains issue that we've been debating. The unrealized capital gains, as a percent of the cost, as of June 30, 1997 are: Index 500 Fund - 53.9% Extended Market Index Fund - 39% Index Growth - 28.4% Index Value - 29.2% Total Market Index - 41.3% Small Cap Index - 25.1% Feel free to double check my calculations. Best wishes, I2 P.S., It would be interesting to see exactly how large the built-in capital gain is for some managed funds.
