Submitted by Robert Gordon & Associates, Inc on January 28th, 2019
The results of research which studies investor behavior and analyzes investor market returns, consistently shows that the average investor earns below-average returns.
For the twenty years ending 12/31/2015, the S&P 500 Index averaged 9.85% a year. A pretty attractive historical return. The average equity fund investor earned a market return of only 5.19%.
