Scenarios
Inflation — the same contributions merely keeping pace with CPI would be $118,149 today, so the real (inflation-adjusted) return is +2323.6%.
Lump sum instead — $57,300 all at once in Dec 1978: $14,043,878 (+24409.4%) — lump sum came out ahead.
Worst timing — same monthly amount started at the all-time high (Sep 2024): $2,613 on $2,400 invested (+8.9%).
⚠ 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.
