Scenarios
Inflation — the same contributions merely keeping pace with CPI would be $46,642 today, so the real (inflation-adjusted) return is +17.2%.
Lump sum instead — $32,000 all at once in Jan 2000: $108,979 (+240.6%) — lump sum came out ahead.
Worst timing — same monthly amount started at the all-time high (Dec 2024): $2,078 on $2,100 invested (-1.1%).
Backtests use monthly closing prices. Stock dividends aren’t reinvested, so long-run equity returns are understated.
Hypothetical — this backtests the group’s cap-weighted index, which isn’t directly investable. A real tracker fund adds fees and tracking difference, and the index only spans months where enough members have history.
