Scenarios

Inflation — the same contributions merely keeping pace with CPI would be $96,738 today, so the real (inflation-adjusted) return is +1849.2%.

Lump sum instead — $51,800 all at once in Jul 1983: $5,983,048 (+11450.3%) — lump sum came out ahead.

Worst timing — same monthly amount started at the all-time high (Jan 2025): $2,104 on $2,000 invested (+5.2%).

⚠ 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.
