It's impossible to compare individual situations since newer employees' 401ks are so heavily influenced by contributions.
That being said, 8.18%.
13.0% domestic mid cap
26.5% domestic small cap
47.0% domestic large cap
13.5% international (mostly large cap)
I changed my allocations slightly at the end of February.

That's a pretty fancy option in a 401k. Nice.

Is it a fund of funds? Regardless, I wonder how much international exposure you're getting for the overall expense. If it's 20%, for example, you might be better off just putting 3% (20% * 15% allocated) directly in a higher cost international fund and the other 12% in your stock and bond funds.
Just a thought.

Do any of you have 401ks that let you buy individual stocks instead of all these fee based mutual funds??
I don't understand these plans that offer like 20 funds and then some people buy them all. I looked at a company that had a true 401K plan and it was with Principal. They had like 25 Principal funds employees had bought in the plan. There was $14million in the entire plan. That agent for Principal was making a FORTUNE off of that plan. Not a single fund in the plan had performed better than the S&P 500.
If you going to buy a fund just by a S&P index fund or the Qs if your plan will let you with very low fees and be done with it.
I much rather a few holdings of stock than any fund.

17.2% as of today's close.
Allocation is:
26% Small/Mid Cap ETFs (IJR, VEXAX)
17% Leveraged x2 Mid Cap ETF (MVV)
25% Leveraged x3 Nasdaq 100 ETF (TQQQ)
32% Bond Funds (SPAB)
ETA: Full disclosure -- the majority of my portfolio is rollover IRA which allows me to invest in whatever I want. Were I limited to my current employer's 401k my return would be 8.3% YTD.

I think because you said contributions count toward RoR

They skew it.
If you've got a $300k 401k to start the year and you're maxing it out, only so much money is buying the "dips" since the pullback from January highs.
If you've got a $10k 401k and you're putting in $5k/yr, a much larger chunk of your account bought in at lower levels throughout the year.
