New Delhi, Sep 15 (IANS) Indian equities, under the Nifty50 basket, have delivered a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14 per cent over the past 20 years, multiplying investors’ wealth by 13 times, according to a report released on Monday.
Gold, meanwhile, slightly outperformed equities with a 14.7 per cent CAGR, growing 16 times during the same period.
In comparison, real estate and the debt market generated more modest returns, compounding annually at 7.7 per cent and 7.5 per cent, respectively, over the last two decades, FundsIndia highlighted in its ‘September Wealth Conversation Report’.
Looking at a longer horizon, domestic equities have fared even better, delivering a 13.6 per cent CAGR over 35 years and multiplying wealth by 88 times.
Globally, the US equity benchmark S&P 500 returned 14.7 per cent CAGR, multiplying investor wealth by 15.6 times in the past 20 years.
Within India, mid- and small-cap stocks emerged as the biggest wealth creators.
