What's a good CAGR return for stocks investment in replacement for a self-employed who does not have CPF contribution and would like to plan for his retirement from his late twenties ?

I'm a self-employed who does not voluntary contribute to CPF scheme such that i might missed out my CPF Life next time as well. On my part, i'm investing in the US Stocks market.

But i would like to know what's a good Compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) that i should be targeting so that i can be better off the CPF life scheme or to retire by 50.

I'm currently 29 this year.

You can use the above calculator to project your wealth and income cashflow.

S&P500 long run - 7%

Entire portfolio realistic return - Between 4-6%.

The above takes into consideration conservative funds. It exludes investments which are speculative with high return potential.

For total portfolio performance, including mistakes done, fees and secular shifts,

my feeling is that around 4-5% per year are more realistic than the SP500 very longterm CAGR of 6-7%.
