The Four-in-One Solution


To see how Fidelity's new Four-in-One Index Fund would have fared over the past 
year, I looked at the performance of a similarly constructed hypothetical fund. 
The exercise shows the Fidelity fund would have outpaced rivals.

FUND                                 1-YEAR TOTAL RETURN*
HYPOTHETICAL FOUR-IN-ONE INDEX             16.3%
VANGUARD LIFESTRATEGY GROWTH               15.2
AVERAGE ASSET-ALLOCATION FUND               7.2
