Scenarios

Inflation — the same contributions merely keeping pace with CPI would be $90,910 today, so the real (inflation-adjusted) return is +763.5%.

Lump sum instead — $50,000 all at once in Jan 1985: $6,128,288 (+12156.6%) — lump sum came out ahead.

Worst timing — same monthly amount started at the all-time high (Apr 2026): $499.88 on $500 invested (-0.0%).

⚠ 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.
