Challenges Participants ExperienceDalbar Study conducted from 1986 to
2005
S&P 500 11.90%
Equity Investor 3.51%
Retirement Plan Investor 6.00%
Annual difference between S&P 500 and Systematic/401k Investor Returns:
5.90%
The study, done by DALBAR, was one that studied various types of investors, their average returns and the tendencies that they shared and the typical trends that
occurred.
Even though the average participant still made the mistakes of buying high and selling low, they out performed the average Equity (lump sum) Investor. Why is that?
The answer: The Power of Dollar Cost Averaging
Important Things to Remember
#1 Golden Rule; Do Not Panic. Volatility, is now, and always has been
a part of the markets. How you react to it will dictate your long-term performance.
Start by reviewing your timetable. Visit with a Lawing Advisor to review
your risk profile, possibly take a new risk questionnaire.
If you are planning on retiring in less than 3 years, be sure to discuss your plans, savings goals and risk profile with a Lawing Financial Advisor.
Thank You for your time!!!!
