What is the YTD return so far in your 401k or IRA?

[abc]

was that 401k or ira.

 

[Cattlegod]

how do you find it out? I use fidelity btw

 

[abc]

easy, go into your fidelity acct, go into netbenefits as that's for 401k...

go into your current, active 401k plan,

the default tab w/ a pie chart is 'investments'


other tabs: sources, asset classes, year to date change


click the last tab and page refreshes, there it is. ytd change

I only see those 3 tabs. The 4th you say isn't listed as a tab.

EDIT: Found it, I had to go to the online statement tab.

-3.7% 🙁

3.2% for the last 6 months though.

 

[abc]

crap.. what version are you using? lol.. j/k

i logged in to see if there was something i could do to toggle off/on that tab, no...

hoe about calling Fidelity.

 

[abc]

hmm i dont / never go to online statement.. i wouldn't get anything there...

i just enter the page at the summary screen by default when getting into my plan thru netbenefits.

so what's ur performance

 

[Noirish]

401k, 4.2% lifetime, which is only 5 years.
i believe i was down like 25% during the bomb.

roth ira, ytd, is probably around 33%. 🙂

How do you get the lifetime performance of your 401k, couldn't find it anywhere.

 

[dionx]

12.17% upto today

 

[TBone48]

8.57% I'm getting more conservative as I get older. 401(k) btw.

no small caps for me, they are rollercoaster rides too exciting for my heart.
i usually invested in mid caps and international.
occasionally transfer is also required, stocks can't always go up, when it's too high, put majority in interest or bond.

 

[AgentEL]

4.0%

I just spent an hour looking at my 401K after looking at this thread.

I've been here since January, contributing to four funds, and I'm averaging 6.59% return (not counting matching funds from my company). I've shifted off my lowest return fund (1.86%) to something more aggressive.

 

[KLin]

My YTD return just went out the Window in the past couple of weeks 🙁.

 

[abc]

ha ha... i know... i realized the same thing just last night... start of the year was slow, spring was better, early summer was smoking.... now, leading into traditionally the best 3 months of the yr... but it's not riding it.

 

[vi edit]

3.7%. Only being saved by international markets at this point.

Last year was almost 18%. This is with a pretty basic & balanced portfolio managed by Principal.

 

[johnjbruin]

401K - 5.2%

I didn't start mine until may 2002, so it wasn't too bad for me starting up 🙂.

Edit: Please tell if it's a 401k or IRA as well.

About the same.

It doesn't matter, since 401k funds generally should give 7%+ over the long term....which is the whole purpose of the 401k....long term.

And generally there is little you can do about it as you have only a bag of funds that your company allows yu to invst in.

Be happy, don't worry.,

 

[ThaPerculator]

401K was at 10% until the last 2 weeks... now a measly 6%.
