The data assumes reinvestment of income and does not account for transaction costs or taxes. The average return represents a compound annual return. Returns and principal invested in stocks are not guaranteed. Large company stocks provide ownership in corporations that intend to provide growth and/or current income. Small company stocks provide ownership in corporations that intend to seek high levels of growth. Small company stocks are more volatile than large company stocks, are subject to significant price fluctuations, business risks, and are thinly traded. Capital gains and dividends received may be taxed in the year received. Growth stocks generally have higher price-to-earnings and lower book-to-market ratios than value stocks, as investors are willing to pay more for higher perceived growth opportunities. Growth stocks are represented here by the bottom 30% of stocks traded on the NYSE ranked by book-to-market ratio, plus stocks traded on the AMEX and NASDAQ with equal or lower book-to-market ratios. Value stocks tend to have lower price-to-earnings and higher book-to- market ratios, as investors will not pay as much for lower growth potential. Value stocks are represented here by the upper 30% of NYSE stocks and comparable stocks on the AMEX and NASDAQ. The median market capitalization of NYSE stocks is used as the breakpoint in classifying stocks as large or small. Index composition is determined in June and rebalanced annually.
