Where Will the S&P 500 Be in 30 Years? History Offers a Clear Answer for Investors.
Yahoo Finance ·
The easiest and most uncomplicated way for investors to benefit from the stock market is by buying an S&P 500 ( ^GSPC -0.70% ) exchange-traded fund, such as the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF . This investment vehicle instantly allows you to own a piece of 500 or so large and profitable American businesses. It's a smart way to build wealth. But where will the S&P 500 index be in 30 years? History offers a clear answer. Over the last three decades, the popular benchmark has generated a total return of 1,830% (as of Sept. 25). On an annual basis, this comes to 10.4%. Investors won't be blown away by that average figure. But given many years and decades, the compounding can add up. The index would've grown a $10,000 investment made in late September 1996 to almost $193,000 today.
