Eg.
You can take that year's Dow index P&L and compare with your fund. If your better than the index you are above the average.
If that year the index loss 5%, and your fund only loss 2%. Your fund are better than index.

On average, over a long period of time (30+ years) you should expect about 5% from governemnt bonds, 6% from investment-grade corporate bonds, 13% from large-cap stocks and 17% from small-cap stocks. Since your retirement account is likely to include assets of several classes, your expected return should be a function of your asset allocation.
How can you tell if you've made good fund selections? You have to understand a bit of elementary statistics for that. A good fund is one that has a positive alpha and a low beta. Alternatively, a good fund is one whose mean returns over a period of time exceed market returns, while having lower volatility.
