Mutual fund illustration tools

These are illustration tools, not forecasts. Each one does simple compounding arithmetic at rates you choose, so you can see how amounts, time and rate interact. They never pre-fill a rate, never promise an outcome, and compute entirely in your browser. Use them to understand, not to predict what any fund will do.

Key facts

  • You choose every rate; no rate is pre-filled, because no one can promise a return.
  • Each tool shows three scenarios side by side, so you can include a deliberately low rate.
  • The output is an arithmetic illustration, never a forecast or a projection.
  • Everything is computed in your browser; nothing you enter is sent to a server.

These tools do one modest thing well: they show how compounding works at a rate you choose. They are deliberately honest. None of them pre-fills a rate, because a pre-filled rate would imply an expectation, and no one can tell you what a fund will return. Each shows three scenarios so you can see an optimistic and a pessimistic case together.

How to read them

Every figure is arithmetic, not a forecast. Enter a deliberately low rate in one scenario to see the uncomfortable case, because that case is just as possible as the hopeful one. If a result would help you think about a real goal, talk to us, and we will keep the expectations honest.
