Why Look at Historical Data Instead of Just an Average
A single "average annual return" number hides how an asset actually behaved — it says nothing about how deep the drawdowns were, how long recovery took, or what would have happened if you'd invested right before a crash instead of right after one. Each page below covers a specific asset's full daily price history, letting you pick any two dates and see the exact total return, CAGR, and max drawdown for that window, instead of relying on a rounded, commonly-quoted figure.
