Scenarios
Inflation — the same contributions merely keeping pace with CPI would be £52,131 today, so the real (inflation-adjusted) return is -24.0%.
Lump sum instead — £33,200 all at once in Jul 1996: £46,244 (+39.3%) — lump sum came out ahead.
Worst timing — same monthly amount started at the all-time high (Jan 2006): £27,784 on £22,800 invested (+21.9%).
⚠ 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.
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.
