So, I'll just take one fund here, for sake of understanding...
I look at my "Royce Opportunity" fund. It shows i have aprox a $2500 "Balance" and I have aprox 120 "units" with a Unit Value of 20.251. But when i click on the fund, it brings up the fund details page. Says the ticker is RYPNX.
Ok, all ok so far...
I go to Schwab, lets "dive into this fund"... I pull up RYPNX, it shows its $12.12 a share.. wait, i thought it was 20.251?  I take my 120 units multipied by $12.12 and i got barely half of what my 401k balance sheet says. 
Then... second thing...
I look at that ticker on schwab, shows a 0.00% dividend yield.. ok, No dividend. fine. Then it has a "Long Term Capital Gain" of $0.1887. With a Distribution total of $0.1887 as of 12/08/11. So, was that $0.1887/share given to me? or, something else?
Not sure this is "Investing 102".. but... i figured you guys might know the answers. lol |
If you go to Royce's home page, it shows the $12.12 NAV.

If you go here:

You can see that they have beat the S&P 500 in the YTD/3/5/10 year categories.
Not sure why your account is showing different numbers... I would follow up with your 401k admin.
