Scenarios
Inflation — the same contributions merely keeping pace with CPI would be €43,219 today, so the real (inflation-adjusted) return is +59.9%.
Lump sum instead — €32,200 all at once in Dec 1999: €172,096 (+434.5%) — lump sum came out ahead.
Worst timing — same monthly amount started at the all-time high (Mar 2023): €3,646 on €4,300 invested (-15.2%).
⚠ 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.
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.
