How are
your fundamentals?
Making good investment decisions can have an enormous impact on your
retirement. Consider this hypothetical example:
* If you saved $100 a month for 25 years at 6%, you would retire with
$69,299 in your account.
* If, however, you saved $300 a month for 40 years at 6% the result would
be $796,596 at retirement.
Your decisions count!
This is a
hypothetical example of mathematical compounding and does not represent
the performance of any specific investment product or class of
investments. Rate of return will vary over time, particularly for
long-term investments. The values shown do not reflect product fees,
charges, or taxes which would reduce returns if included.
Investments offering the potential for higher rates of return also involve
a higher degree of risk. Actual results will vary.
