FINANCIAL FITNESS - Episode 4: The Average Rate of Return of the Stock Market and How Your Portfolio can Beat most Professional Investors (Really!)

December 02, 2021 • Syren Thriving

Welcome to our new series: Financial Fitness with Syren and Sasha where we help absolute beginner investors get started on their journey to financial freedom by making investing accessible through digestible, organized and action-oriented content.

Today's episode is about the average return rate of the stock market. Over the last 100 years, the stock market has returned an average of 10%. Find out how powerful this 10% can be by listening to our podcast on compound interest. And if you think you can you better than 10%, you should know that the returns on index funds beat *eighty-percent* of professional investors. So you can do a LOT of work and pick individual stocks, or simply invest in an index fund to achieve that 10%.* By the way, in the last year alone (2020-2021), the stock market has returned 25%.

*always do your research in choosing index funds and be clear on their fee structure. Look for index funds with ultra-low or no fees of .05% to .2% a year.

IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS:
- How this average is calculated and how you can use it to strategize and grow your portfolio
- How index funds beat *most* professional investors
- What NOT to do if you don't want to lose over 90% of your gains

YOUR ACTION ITEM:
- Now that you know the average rate of return for the stock market, use the compound calculator (that we discussed in Episode 3) and enter 10%. Use this number with confidence and begin to think about some new goals and strategies to reach your investment goals.
