So here everyone are the five and ten year returns as of June 30 2025 The numbers speak for themselves Vanguard 500 Index Fund VFIAX 16.60% 13.60% Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund VTSAX 15.85% 12.90% Vanguard Target Retirement 2025 Fund VTTVX 7.48% 6.89% So do you see what I mean -ignore the doubters Numbers don't lie Key Takeaways • VFIAX slightly outperforms VTSAX over the past five years, but VTSAX has edged ahead slightly over the ten-year horizon. This is typical when large-cap growth sectors (which dominate the S&P 500) drive recent performance, while VTSAX’s broader exposure balances out over longer spans. • VTTVX (Target Retirement 2025 Fund) has delivered significantly lower returns, which aligns with its mixed allocation to bonds and a more conservative posture as retirement date approaches.
