Asset Accumulation The examples below show how much you can earn over time with an investment of $10,000 at different rates of interest. The Rule of 72 - Helping To Outpace Inflation 7 7 All figures are for illustrative purposes only and do not reflect an actual investment in any product. They do not reflect the performance risks, expenses or charges associated with any actual investment. Past performance is not an indication of future performance. The Rule of 72 is a mathematical concept that approximates the number of years it would take to double the principle at a constant rate of return. The performance of investments fluctuate over time, and as a result, the actual time it will take an investment to double in value cannot be predicted with any certainty. Additionally, there are no guarantees that any investment or savings program can outpace inflation. Please note that high risk has been historically associated with higher rates of return. 29 47 65 $10,000 $20,000 $40,000 Age 4% Money doubles every 18 years $10,000 $20,000 $40,000 $80,000 29 41 53 65 6% Age Money doubles every 12 years $10,000 $20,000 $40,000 $80,000 $160,000 29 38 47 56 65 8% Age Money doubles every 9 years 12% Age $10,000 $20,000 $40,000 $80,000 $160,000 $320,000 $640,000 29 35 41 47 53 59 65 Money doubles every 6 years
Asset Accumulation The following graphic portrays a historical view of different investment markets from 1926 to 2007. The chart shows how much $1 invested could have grown based on investment in stocks, bonds or treasury bills and how the investment compares to the rate of inflation during this same period. Of course, there are certain risks when investing, so past performance cannot guarantee future returns. 7 Note: The following chart does not reflect past or future performance of any specific product (Data Jan.1,1926-Dec.31, 2006). This chart is for illustrative purposes only and is not indicative of any investment. The data assumes reinvestment of all income and does not account for taxes or transaction costs. The average return represents a compound annual return. Government bonds and Treasury bills are guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the United States government as to the timely payment of principal and interest. Bonds in a portfolio are typically intended to provide income and/or diversification. U.S. government bonds may be exempt from state taxes and income is taxed as ordinary income in the year received. With government bonds, the investor is a creditor of the government. Stocks are not guaranteed and have been more volatile than the other asset classes. Large company stocks provide ownership in corporations that intend to provide growth and/or current income. Small company stocks provide ownership in corporations that intend to seek high levels of growth. Small stocks are more volatile than large stocks and are subject to significant price fluctuations, business risks, and are thinly traded. Capital gains and dividends received may be taxed in the year received. Underlying data is from the Stocks, Bonds, Bills, and Inflation® (SBBI®) Yearbook, by Roger G. Ibbotson and Rex Sinquefield updated annually. An investment cannot be made directly in an index. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Source: In this example, small stocks are represented by the fifth capitalization quintile of stocks on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) for 1926-1981 and the performance of the Dimensional Fund Advisors, Inc. (DFA) U.S. Micro Cap Portfolio thereafter; large stocks are represented by the Standard & Poor’s (S&P) 500®, which is an unmanaged group of securities and considered to be representative of the stock market in general; government bonds are represented by the 20-year U.S. government bond, Treasury bills by the 30-day U.S. Treasury bill and inflation by the Consumer Price Index.
