11. The Potential Effects Source of chart data: Dalbar, Inc. Quantitative Analysis of Investor Behavior, July 2005 update. QAIB calculates investor returns as the change in assets, after excluding sales, redemptions and exchanges. Annualized return rate is calculated as the uniform rate that can be compounded annually for the period under consideration to produce the investor return dollars. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Stocks and bonds have different risks, where bonds, if held to maturity, may offer both a fixed rate of return and a fixed principal value. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Due to ongoing market volatility, current performance may be more or less than the results shown in this presentation. The performance information does not show the effects of income taxes on an individual’s investment. Taxes may reduce your actual investment returns or any gains you may realize if you sell your investment. An investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost.
