Everyone talks about “buying the market”… but different investment styles have delivered very different returns over the last 3 years.📈🚀👇 Here’s a quick comparison: 📈 Growth Stocks ($NVDA, $PLTR, $AVGO) 3-Year Return: +150% to +900%+ ➡️ Highest upside, but also the most volatile. ⚡ Growth ETFs ($QQQ, $VUG, $SCHG) 3-Year Return: ~+45% to +90% ➡️ Great way to own innovation without relying on one company. 💰 Dividend ETFs ($SCHD, $VIG, $DGRO) 3-Year Return: ~+20% to +45% (plus dividends) ➡️ Focus on consistent cash flow and long-term compounding. 🛒 Consumer Staples ETFs ($XLP, $VDC) 3-Year Return: ~+5% to +20% ➡️ Defensive holdings that tend to hold up during downturns. ⚙️ Technology Sector ETFs ($XLK, $VGT) 3-Year Return: ~+60% to +100% ➡️ Powered by AI, semiconductors, and cloud computing. ⚡ Energy Sector ETFs ($XLE, $VDE) 3-Year Return: ~+20% to +55% ➡️ Strong returns despite commodity price swings. 🏥 Healthcare ETFs ($XLV, $VHT) 3-Year Return: ~+10% to +30% ➡️ Historically resilient with long-term demographic tailwinds. 🏠 REIT ETFs ($VNQ, $SCHH) 3-Year Return: ~-5% to +15% ➡️ Hurt by higher interest rates but could benefit if rates decline. 🌎 Broad Market ETFs ($VOO, $SPY, $VTI, $VXUS, $FXAIX, $VT) 3-Year Return: ~+45% to +65% ➡️ A solid core holding for many long-term investors. ⸻ 📌 Lesson: There’s no “best” investment. A balanced portfolio often combines: * 🚀 Growth for upside * 💵 Dividends for income * 🛡️ Defensive sectors for stability * 📈 Broad index funds for consistent long-term compounding Diversification may not produce the highest return every year—but it can help you stay invested long enough to benefit from compounding. Past performance doesn’t guarantee future results, but understanding how different asset classes behave can make you a better long-term investor.
