Drawdowns (20year-period)
Don't be afraid, it's only a "Drawdown"..."what draws down, goes up again (hopefully)"
I made some Monte-Carlo-Simulation runs and put up some Drawdown-Scenarios, but let´s start with the S&P 500:
a) Based on Statistical Returns (Allocation-Mix: US Stock Market 50%, Developed Markets 45%, Emerging Markets 5%). Monte Carlo simulation results for 10,000 portfolios using available asset class data from 1995 to 2015. The historical return for the selected allocation from 1995 to 2015 was 9.05% mean return.
b) Based on assumed returns of 9.5% (US Stock Market 50%, Developed Markets 45%, Emerging Markets 5%) you will find following Monte Carlo simulation-Drawdown-results for 10,000 portfolios using available asset class data from 1995 to 2015:
