Simulation, not a forecast and not investment advice.
wildcomb.appAn index fund tracks a market index. Nobody knows what it will return, so the simulator calculates with an assumption you set yourself.
In the example US$45,000 are paid in and US$73,120 come from returns. Beside your assumption the simulator shows past returns of broad markets and inflation for comparison. WildComb recommends no fund.
