Below, you'll see three hypothetical investments, with approximate rate of returns of 5%, 7.5%, and 11.5%. The charts show how $10,000 would have grown in each investment had you invested 10 years ago and not added or removed any money. Which investment – taking into account both return and volatility – looks most attractive to you?

How would you describe the types of investments you've made in the past?
