Scenarios

Inflation — the same contributions merely keeping pace with CPI would be $158,835 today, so the real (inflation-adjusted) return is +123.5%.

Lump sum instead — $64,000 all at once in May 1973: $533,877 (+734.2%) — lump sum came out ahead.

Worst timing — same monthly amount started at the all-time high (Feb 2026): $669.02 on $700 invested (-4.4%).

⚠ 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.
