Impact of Expenses and Fees

The table below assumes the investor invests $10,000 on the first day of year one and that the original investment earns a continuous 5% return. In addition, it assumes the investor reinvests all earnings, and makes no additional contributions. The 5% rate of return is hypothetical and used only to illustrate the respective impacts of different fee amounts on each investment. It is not intended to predict future investment returns.

Calculations are done by the 403bCompare site in an effort to provide a standardized comparison of the impact of all fees associated with an investment option. This includes all required 403(b) product-level fees, and investment-level fees. For more information on fees or expenses associated with a 403(b) product or investment option, please refer fees located in Help & Resources .
