Thanks for the assumed honest post. How are your returns after switching to indexed?


Up 13% since March. (I only recently switched to index funds, so far it's good)


I hope you don't think that type of return is normal. Anything, sustained, over 1% should make use suspicious. Really, that would be 12% per year. That is excellent return over the long run. We are in a mini-bubble, thanks to the Magical Six.


Oh yeah, I'm well aware these are very high returns, and chances are high that we'll soon get a year of -30% or the like, as the average p.a. return over 25 years is usually ~7-10%, depending what timeframe you mesure. (ex fees and tax)

I'm under no illusion that this will continue going forward.
