Scenarios

Inflation — the same contributions merely keeping pace with CPI would be $49,851 today, so the real (inflation-adjusted) return is +157.3%.

Lump sum instead — $33,600 all at once in Sep 1998: $337,172 (+903.5%) — lump sum came out ahead.

Worst timing — same monthly amount started at the all-time high (Feb 2026): $665.8 on $700 invested (-4.9%).

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.
