Not necessarily true. Pick just about any 5 year period (and some 10 year periods) that have a year of steep decline and FPURX will outperform FUSVX. Take a look at 1988-1997. Or 1988-1992. Or 2000-2009. Or 2008-2012. Or 1999-2004.

It's a 50% to 70% equity allocation mutual fund, and one of the best. If that fits the OP's needs, I'd say go for it. (I have about 5% of my total portfolio in FPURX.)
