BELOW ARE SEVERAL REASONS WHY EMPLOYEES DON'T RETIRE THE WAY THEY REALLY WANT TO

Where does investment growth come from?



Less than 7% of 401(k) investors make changes to their investment allocations in any year.**

              

WHY?

Investing is confusing.  Many 401(k) investors don't have the time to keep up with the financial markets.  They simply don't know what to do.  Therefore, they do nothing.

The results are not surprising.

Average equity investor and average bond investor performance results are calculated using data supplied by the Investment Company Institute. Investor returns are represented by the change in total mutual fund assets after excluding sales, redemptions, and exchanges. This method of calculation captures realized and unrealized capital gains, dividends, interest, trading costs, sales charges, fees, and any other costs.
(4) TPFG Equity and TPFG Balanced portfolios are net of management fees including the IAR fee of up to 1%. This is a time-weighted return for the period of 01-01-1995 to 12-31-2014.
Returns quoted are net of management fees only and they do not reflect income taxes that the investor would have incurred. All performance results are based upon a composite of client portfolios that have
elected this investment strategy. This composite contains all accounts that have selected this strategy that meet the following requirements: all accounts must have been invested for at least a full month, and TPFG has full discretionary investment authority. All accounts that do not contain investment restrictions that significantly impair TPFG’s ability to manage the assets according to the applicable strategy are considered discretionary. The composite process removes accounts under the composite minimums, accounts with pending or processed cash flows greater than%of the beginning period market value, accounts that have been traded by the client during the month, accounts held at custodians that do not have an institutional trading platform to facilitate bulk trading, and accounts that do not pay a management fee. Actual returns for individual client accounts may vary and do not necessarily coincide exactly with the returns for the composite. Past performance is no guarantee of future returns. Investing in any security involves a risk of loss.
