Understanding Investment Returns
Total Return vs Annualized Return
Total Return is the overall percentage gain or loss on your investment. Annualized Return converts that into an average yearly rate, making it easier to compare investments of different durations.
Benchmark Returns to Compare
- S&P 500: ~10% annualized (historical average)
- Bonds: ~4-6% annualized
- Real Estate: ~8-12% annualized
- Inflation: ~2-3% annualized (need to beat this!)
