I know Aug/Sept were pretty bad but I am wondering overall..... My 401k is at +1.35% annual return. Seems pretty low to me, but at least its not in the red anymore like it was a couple months ago.
My 401k is a mix portfolio of:
40% Large Cap US Index
20% International Stock Index
15% Small Cap Index
10% Mid Cap Index
15% Bond Index
Anyone else seeing similar returns for YTD?
All of your questions could be answered by spending 5 minutes on sites like Yahoo Finance or Google Finance.
But yeah, your numbers are about in line with what the market has returned.
I should stress that you should *not* be concerned with returns from only ~10 months of data. A more sensible time-frame is several years (3-yr, 5-yr, 10yr returns).
Some quick numbers:
SP500 (large US stocks): +0.86% YTD
Vanguard Mid-cap index +1.1% YTD
Russell Small Cap:-1.38% YTD
US 10-yr treasuries have been bouncing between +2.1-2.3%
International depends highly on which "international" sector you are talking about.
