"As of last night, 500 Index (VFIAX) has gained 17.7% this calendar year.
That’s on the heels of returning 26.2% in 2023 and 25.0% in 2024.
Even if 2025’s return doesn’t crack the 20% line, there’s no denying that 500 Index shareholders
have enjoyed a terrific run—compounding at a 22.9% annual pace."
"The chart below shows 500 Index’s rolling three-year annualized returns (based on calendar years).
If 2025 ends around the 22.9% mark, this three-year window would land well above the fund’s 12.2%
long-term average—ranking as the fifth-best three-year stretch since the index fund’s 1976 inception.
The only better periods? The late-1990s tech bubble and 2019–2021."
