Scenarios

Inflation — the same contributions merely keeping pace with CPI would be €43,119 today, so the real (inflation-adjusted) return is +820.3%.

Lump sum instead — €32,100 all at once in Dec 1999: €1,113,382 (+3368.5%) — lump sum came out ahead.

Worst timing — same monthly amount started at the all-time high (Jan 2025): €1,635 on €2,000 invested (-18.3%).

⚠ 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.

About Hermes International

In 2020, the beauty division added a sixteenth business line. (Wikipedia)
