How to use this model:

  1. Set your starting capital and allocation
  2. Adjust expected returns (CAGR) for each bucket
  3. Set your time horizon
  4. Compare outcomes against the benchmark

The results reflect your assumptions — not forecasts.

A note on CAGR inputs

CAGR inputs represent your expected total return — price appreciation plus any income reinvested.

Broad equity indices have historically delivered ~8–10% annually over long periods. Higher assumptions (e.g. 12–15%+) typically imply strong business performance or selective portfolio construction, rather than broad market returns.

Portfolios concentrated in high-quality compounders — businesses with durable advantages and reinvestment capacity — have historically achieved higher, though with commensurately higher selection risk.

Sustained outperformance over broad market benchmarks is uncommon.

The model is not designed to assume it — but to make clear what your assumptions require.

Equities outperformed not because they are traded more frequently, analysed more thoroughly, or held by smarter investors. They outperformed because they represent ownership stakes in productive businesses — entities that generate earnings, reinvest capital, and compound value over time.
