Bignole - The S&P 500 Index originally began in 1926 as the "composite index" comprised of only 90 stocks. According to historical records, the average annual return since its inception in 1926 through 2018 is approximately 10%–11%.[cite] The average annual return since adopting 500 stocks into the index in 1957 through 2018 is roughly 8%. https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/042415/what-average-annual-return-sp-50 0.asp#:~:text=The%20S%26P%20500%20Index%20originally,approximately%2010%25%E2%80 %9311%25. You don't need to do anything atleast if you put in some ETF of an index fund you get average of it. Greater the multiple on returns - The more financial savvy you are. Everyone falls somewhere in this bucket. We discussed some good ETF's here in this thread. If you are not doing anything and putting in cash, its value goes down due to inflation. From 3 years 4% per year - do the compound interest loss on it! |
