Scenarios
Inflation — the same contributions merely keeping pace with CPI would be £73,723 today, so the real (inflation-adjusted) return is +141.9%.
Lump sum instead — £42,200 all at once in Jun 1988: £772,412 (+1730.4%) — lump sum came out ahead.
Worst timing — same monthly amount started at the all-time high (Feb 2026): £757.48 on £800 invested (-5.3%).
⚠ 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.
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.
