Scenarios

Inflation — the same contributions merely keeping pace with CPI would be €40,902 today, so the real (inflation-adjusted) return is +249.6%.

Lump sum instead — €30,800 all at once in Jan 2001: €2,225,759 (+7126.5%) — lump sum came out ahead.

Worst timing — same monthly amount started at the all-time high (Mar 2025): €1,978 on €1,800 invested (+9.9%).

⚠ Price returns only — dividends are not included. This understates the true return of dividend-paying shares, and any comparison against crypto (which pays no dividends) is biased against equities by roughly the dividend yield, compounded.
