Good "10k growth charts"
« on: January 06, 2016, 05:30:47 PM »
Hi Folks,

suggest a good resource to view multiple 10k growth charts?
Google finance offers a price chart only, Vanguard graphs are quite ugly and work for their own funds only, Morningstar growth graphs are quite ugly as well (but they serve the purpose).

Thanks!

What are your criteria for "good"?

I'm getting the impression that they should have the functionality of M*'s charts but not be ugly.

Personally I don't think they're ugly.

If you only care about the end result, you can use longrundata.com to get exact returns from date to date on anything that's listed and has historical records on Yahoo Finance - you can also graph it yourself if you were meticulous enough and went through results week by week or month by month

I prefer https://www.portfoliovisualizer.com/ for all of my backtesting.

GGNoob - can you give an example of something simple that can be simulated?
P.S. I changed my mind on M* - it does its job.

Follow up question: I assume that typical 10k growth charts take into account dividends, but do they also take into account the expense ratios?
(I'm still uncertain about one of my 401k choices PABGX that seems to grow pretty good in long run but has 0.98% ER)

The price of any mutual fund or ETF already takes into account the expense ratio.
