There is a still a risk associated with those funds, so even if you normally do well, you have to keep in mind that that risk does not go away. And yeah, most people's retirement funds go into funds with varying types of risk, but it's just something to keep in mind. You may not have said you could get a guaranteed 5-10% back on your money, but your wording kind of implied it.

That said, grats on the well-performing funds.
