427.0. "SAVE PROGRAM FIXED RATE?" by TLE::ROSSI () Thu Dec 10 1987 14:38

    Does anyone know what the interest of the fixed SAVE Program will
    be paying?  The deadline to change if December 15th.  
    
    Any advice on getting out of Vanguard Windsor at this late date
    and moving funds into the fixed account?

427.2Windsor's still a long term winnerCIMNET::NMILLERThu Dec 10 1987 15:1915
    Fund A pays 8.5% thru June 1988. Assuming that your SAVE money is
    invested for the long term, my *non-professional* advice is to stick
    with Fund C (Windsor). John Neff, the fund manager is one of the
    most respected in the industry, has an excellent long-term record
    and has been quoted as saying that he thinks there are some bargains
    to be had out there. Personally, I'm much happier dollar cost averaging
    my SAVE money into Windsor with the DOW at 1900 than I was at 2700.
    For the year (thru 11/27/87) Windsor's return is -1%, but over the
    longer term, Windsor's performance is excellent. Nothing goes up
    forever, and the drop in the market was precipitous, but (again) 
    Neff is a proven player. If it really tears you up to see the swings
    in the market (and *your* retirement nest egg), it may be worth
    the peace of mind to switch to the sure thing, though.
