It is always reported that S&P500 returns average 8-10% annually. But how do one actually achieved this return?

Do one hold the s&p500 etf over long term to get this return or buy at beginning of year and sell at end of year? Without selling the etf and keep holding it for 30 years, how to obtain the the 8-10% returns?

The average returns can vary quite differently when you define a different entry date and exit date. There is no guarantee of 8-10% returns as no one can foresee the future. It is still important to revisit your portfolio once in a while, insted of simply buy and hold forever.

  • Buy & hold. And keep buying every month.
  • However, investing 101, past performance dont guarantee future results.
  • Is dangerous to assume s&p will always give a 8-10% p.a returns.
  • Also market go up in the long run.
  • The question is are you able to wait till the market recover?
  • Allocate your portfolio accordingly, so no matter what the market do, it wont deviate from your financial goal.

8-10% is average return per year over a period of time... usually 15-20 years....
