If someone had invested €50,000 in a lump sum back in 1985, the average investor—with excessive fees and irrational decisions—would have ended up with just €149,000 after 30 years. But if that money had remained invested in a simple index fund tracking U.S. stocks, the investor’s account would have grown to nearly €1 million. That’s a difference of €850,000—money you missed out on, but could have been yours. That’s definitely not pocket change. And both investors took on exactly the same level of risk when choosing their investments.
Some ETFs have up to 10 times lower annual management fees compared to mutual funds—this makes a huge difference in your final return over time.
A mutual fund investing in U.S. stocks typically charges up to 2.5% in annual fees. An ETF tracking the same U.S. stocks, on the other hand, charges just 0.07% annually—the difference is clear.
Research has shown that over a 30-year period, the U.S. stock market index grew at an average annual rate of 10.35%. In that same period, the average investor achieved a significantly lower return—only 3.66% per year.
