If we look at the last 25 years, since 1998, the Sensex and Nifty 50 have given negative returns only 6 times. 2022 returns were the 3rd lowest but positive return in these 25 years.
This article uses the SENSEX Total Returns Index and the Nifty 50 price index to show a report card for the Indian stock markets.
Note: The Nifty 50 has not regularly underperformed the SENSEX. The Nifty 50 data in the chart uses the price returns, while the SENSEX data includes price returns and reinvested dividends.
The average return of the SENSEX with reinvested dividends is 18% over these 25 years. So ā¹1 lakh invested in the beginning would have become ā¹25 lakhs today. But that journey was not smooth, with a 52% drop in 2008 due to the global financial crisis and more minor falls along the way.
Investors should be prepared for both rises and falls along the way when investing in equity. This concept is called the sequence of returns. The unpredictability of this sequence causes sequence of return risk that we have discussed here: How does sequence of return risk affect your goals?.
In the Indian equity market, there is limited evidence of flat stock market returns over long periods, like a decade. Hence, investors, especially new ones, will face a test of conviction in equity investing if such a situation arises.
In the Arthgyaan goal-based investing framework, we assume a positive premium over inflation for equity and zero real returns for an investorās lifetime retirement portfolio: How much returns should you expect from your retirement portfolio?.
Investors must create their investment plan without worrying about such fluctuations in the equity markets since they would be safe by implementing risk management by reducing their allocation to equity as their goal comes closer: Your portfolio needs a glide path: what, why and how?.
We have evidence here that goal-based investing works for long-term goals in India: Goal-based investing: does it work in India? which you can implement for yourself using the Arthgyaan goal-based investing tool.
