International Version of PRWCX For 10-yr, (1.1301/1.1150)^10 = 1.1440, or 14.40% difference in final value.
For 15-yr, (1.0987/1.0743)^15 = 1.4006, or 40.06% difference in final value.
International Version of PRWCX To say “Over 10 years, it leads DODBX by only 1.5%” annualized and assume that is a small amount I would suspect misunderstands the power of compounding. But I haven’t done the math in this case.
International Version of PRWCX For 15 years PRWCX outperforms DODBX by 2.44% PER YEAR, that's a substantial difference.
9.87% vs 7.43%.
International Version of PRWCX :(
PRWCX down -1.16% today.
I don’t care if PRWCX is up or down. Just tired of Giroux being worshiped at the alter!
Over 10 years, it leads DODBX by only 1.
5%. The gap has been narrowing for a year or more. And DODBX did slightly better today.
10 year performance from Lipper as of yesterday:
PRWCX +13.01%
DODBX +11.
50%
Not to trash PRWCX (I own it). Just don’t believe in hero (or fund) worship.
TRP ridiculousness Just to be credible, this is what I saw when I logged into my account this morning:

Buyout of Janus Henderson Intech unit I have not been paying attention (again). Somewhere in the mid 2010's, Janus' INTECH funds dropped the INTECH part of the name. There are at least four remaining Janus Henderson funds submanaged by INTECH. Their status is now apparently in limbo:
The current supplement to the prospectus of those funds reads in part:
Janus Henderson Emerging Markets Managed Volatility Fund
Janus Henderson Global Income Managed Volatility Fund
Janus Henderson International Managed Volatility Fund
Janus Henderson U.S. Managed Volatility Fund
(the “Funds”)
Supplement dated February 3, 2022
Janus Henderson Investors US LLC, the investment adviser to the Funds, and Intech, as the subadviser, are assessing options with respect to the continued management of the Funds and will announce to shareholders any proposed changes regarding the Funds at the conclusion of such assessment. Intech will continue to provide subadvisory services to the Funds in the interim.

No Distributions, Genuine Declines, 2/3/22 If a mutual fund drops by a big surprising amount, one should look for possible distributions. But that didn't apply today. Here are some large declines in LC-growth mutual funds today:
IALAX -6.49%
MSEQX -6.40%
TRBCX -5.40%
FCNTX -5.23%
etc
Compare: SP500 -2.44%; Nasdaq Comp --3.74%, Nasdaq-100 -4.22%
Some of these losses may be recovered tomorrow as futures and after-markets actions are very positive following AMZN good earnings news.
I was wondering if other MFO's users were have problems with different devices that use Apple ? @Old_Joe : This is the message that pops up : Amazon wants to access your Google account. Then it lists
5 different things that it wants to access !

A question for the senior members of the group. Preparing for cognitive decline and more. @sma3…. I agree that the duration of WWINX is all wrong for the near future. My current non equity holdings have a duration of about 1.
5. Just short tips and bank loan funds. But if I let the equity allocation drive any one fund solution then duration will be too long. The price of simplicity I guess.
I was wondering if other MFO's users were have problems with different devices that use Apple ? @Mark- Yeah, my first was a Mac+ too. Upgraded that to an SE30. Still have that one- fired it up about a year ago and it still works! Using a fleet of Mini's now, with some G
5s for old CAD files that can't cross over.

International Version of PRWCX Mr. Giroux’s 2nd largest holding, Amazon (AMZN), is down 7% today. (Maybe in sympathy with Facebook?) Lipper lists AMZN as 5.5% of his portfolio.
“Too smart by half” is an old saying that might apply. :)
AMZN is up 1
5% in the aftermarket following earnings...
A question for the senior members of the group. Preparing for cognitive decline and more. I agree VWINX is a conservative choice that has been hard to beat, but with stocks at an all time high (VWINX PE is 15) and interest rates so low ( VWINX duration is 8) , both of these allocations may be bad places to be in the near future. In the past the bonds have saved VWINX during market crashes. Maybe not so much in interest rates shoot up
Most people who are left with money to manage without any experience or interest should probably hire someone, even if it is expensive
International Version of PRWCX I think golub1 is correct. The only way to get there is to build your own. But it sure would be nice to have 1 well managed international balanced/allocation fund doing the work for you.
Still unbelievable to me that a 60:40 balanced type fund using international equity and international bonds exclusively doesn't exist. Seems like that would be something easy for Vanguard to market using their index funds. Would it ever match PRWCX? Oh I doubt it, unless that cloning Giroux thing hank mentioned pans out.
A few very good world or global funds mentioned in this thread seem to be the closest thing available.
Vanguard does offer the Global Wellington fund.
The fund invests in international equities and international bonds.
Its allocation is approximately 6
5% stocks / 3
5% bonds.
Edit: You were referencing international balanced funds but I provided a global fund.
My mistake!
