Compare indices
See how the same monthly investment would grow in different indices, if each index repeated its 20-year average return.
Growth by index
| Index | Return per year | End value |
|---|
Return = each index's 20-year average annual total return in USD (dividends reinvested, before fees), through Aug 2026. Sources: index providers (SlickCharts, MSCI, dqydj, Nasdaq OMX). Non-USD indices are estimates. Past performance does not predict future returns.
So which index? Nobody knows which index will do best over the next 20 years. A global index such as MSCI World spreads your money across about 1,300 companies in 23 countries, which is why many people start there.
