Created One Hundred Years page, which compiles US stock and bond market risk and return data since January 1926 in single place. The data in this page have formed the basis of several articles and posts on MFO and MFOP on long-term performance and cycles (e.g., Strong June Propels New Bull Market [July 2023]). It will be updated quarterly, at least, in hopes of providing a helpful reference for individual investors, financial advisors, and fund managers.

 

This chart is one of several on the page that I find fascinating! Particularly the spike in volatility circa 1980.

    

 

Another new page, called Sixty Years, presents US stock and bond market risk and return data since January 1960, which marks the beginning of our Lipper database. So, it actually represents 66 or “60-plus” years. This page uses US aggregate bond index [USBOND, like AGG], whereas the Hundred Years page uses long government US bond index [LGOVBND, like TLT].
