If it makes the low end of its targeted annual return and continues on the rate over the past twelve months, your investment would grow to $35,280 for an ~18% IRR that you can withdraw in a year. If it maintains its compound annual growth rate it would be ~19%. At the high end of its targeted annual return range, it would net ~$21% when you withdraw $36,225 in a year.
Caveat
I’m just here for the promos. This significantly amps up the scale.
Conclusion
Is this a good idea? It is certainly a better idea than investing in this without the 5% match.
TL; DR
If you’re ever going to invest in Roots, do it now to get the match.
