Total growth comparisons
Absolutely. Most are around 14-16% GAGR total return last 5 years. That's why I have decided to start liquidating small amounts of stock in addition to the divs.

Only problem is that you end up working longer than necessary that if you rely on total return.... probably a lot longer.

Wow. They KNOW what the last three years are? They're good! Seriously how does that work. Is it a target date fund?

No it's a managed payout fund VPGDX http://obliviousinvestor.com/a-look-...d-payout-fund/

The strategy of the Vanguard Managed Payout Fund sits between these two — with a level of spending that does vary based on portfolio performance, but that is “smoothed” by basing the withdrawal on the average share price over multiple years. (Specifically, the fund sets a monthly distribution in January of each year, based on 4% of the fund’s average share price over the last three years.)
