The S&P 500 gained at a 9.2% annual rate during this period. Many equity asset types fared better than the S&P 500.
Yet, Dalbar’s estimate of the annualized return earned by the average investor during this 20-year period falls well short at just 2.5%.
The 20-year period includes phases of substantial turmoil and volatility from the Great Recession and the dot-com bust.
The average investor underperformed nearly every equity asset class due to poor timing of asset allocation decisions.
The average investor would have fared better by buying and holding most equity assets instead of buying assets after prices have run up and selling them in a panic after prices have plunged.
