The key point is that
quote:

For stock funds, the annual return assumption is 9.90%


Their returns assume that these funds didn't outperform the 9.90% average, which they all did. Yes, you will save on fees, and that's Vanguard's entire sales pitch.

I used Morningstar because it's non-biased and shows the actual returns, not the assumed returns.

I tried to use MOrningstar too, but all I see is returns. No where do I see them tell you how much you had in costs. They just label expense ratio and are done with it. Or how much turnover in the fund cost them. Those funds had 28%, that has to incur some costs. Maybe I'm looking at it wrong.
