This document provides an analysis and updated expectations for long-term capital market returns. It estimates that U.S. stocks will provide a total return of 6-8% over the long-term and bonds will return 3-4%. These estimates are based on reasonable assumptions about inflation, dividend income, dividend growth, and valuation shifts. The document examines historical returns and factors to derive its projections, which are meant to provide a guide for long-term financial planning.
What are realistic expectations for long-term capital market returns, and how are they forecast? Check out this month's Investment Insights for a historical look.

Solution
Connect with Vanguard > vanguard.com Executive summary. Some say the long-run outlook for
U.S. stocks is poor (even “dead”) given the backdrop of muted economic growth, already-high
profit margins, elevated government debt levels, and low interest rates. Others take a rosier view,
citing attractive valuations and a wide spread between stock earnings yields and Treasury bond
yields as reason to anticipate U.S. stock returns of 8%–10% annually, close to the historical
average, over the next decade. Given such disparate views, which factors should investors
consider when formulating expectations for stock returns? And today, what do those factors
suggest is a reasonable range to expect for stock returns going forward? We expand on previous
Vanguard research in using U.S. stock returns since 1926 to assess the predictive power of more
than a dozen metrics that investors would know ahead of time. We find that many commonly
cited signals have had very weak and erratic correlations with actual subsequent returns, even at
long investment horizons. These poor Vanguard research October 2012 Forecasting stock
returns: What signals matter, and what do they say now? Authors Joseph Davis, Ph.D. Roger
Aliaga-Díaz, Ph.D. Charles J. Thomas, CFA 2 predictors include trailing values for dividend
yields and economic growth, the difference between the stock market’s earnings yield and
Treasury bond yields (the so-called Fed Model), profit margins, and past stock returns. We
confirm that valuation metrics such as price/earnings ratios, or P/Es, have had an inverse or
mean-reverting relationship with future stock market returns, although it has only been
meaningful at long horizons and, even then, P/E ratios have “explained” only about 40% of the
time variation in net-of-inflation returns. Our results are similar whether or not trailing earnings
are smoothed or cyclically adjusted (as is done in Robert Shiller’s popular P/E10 ratio). The
current level of a blend of valuation metrics contributes to Vanguard’s generally positive outlook
for the stock market over the next ten years (2012–2022). But the fact that even P/Es—the
strongest of the indicators we examined—leave a large portion of returns unexplained
underscores our belief that expected stock returns are best stated in a probabilistic framework,
not as a “point forecast,” and should not be forecast over short horizons. The variation of
expected returns Forming reasonable long-run return expectations for stocks and other asset
classes can be important in devising a strategic asset allocation. But what precisely are
“reasonable” expectations in the current environment, and how should they be formed? For
instance, should investors expect t.
Faj jan feb_2003_surprise_higher_dividends_higher_earnings_growthSarayut Wanasin
The document investigates whether a company or market's dividend payout ratio can predict future earnings growth. It finds that historically, the highest expected future earnings growth occurs when current payout ratios are high, and the slowest growth occurs when payout ratios are low. This relationship holds even after accounting for other factors like mean reversion in earnings. The findings contradict the view that reinvesting more earnings will fuel faster growth, and instead support the idea that managers sometimes signal expectations or engage in inefficient behavior through dividends. The low payout ratios seen recently may not be a sign of strong future earnings growth as some predict, according to the historical relationship identified in the document.
This document discusses dividend investing strategies. It makes the following key points:
1) Dividend investing tends to outperform during periods of market volatility and below average returns, as dividend income provides downside protection.
2) Dividends have accounted for about one-third of the total return of the S&P 500 since the 1970s, so excluding dividend stocks puts investors at a disadvantage.
3) The best dividend strategies focus on high quality stocks with growing dividends, cash flows, and earnings, not just high yields, to identify opportunities with sustainable payouts.
The document discusses an investment advisory firm that aims to:
1. Design investment plans tailored to clients' life goals
2. Build plans using academic research
3. Protect clients' futures through discipline and structure
The summary emphasizes partnering with clients, using research-backed strategies, and maintaining discipline to achieve long-term goals.
When setting expectations,
it’s helpful to see the range of outcomes experienced
by investors historically. For example, how often have
the stock market’s annual returns actually aligned with
its long-term average? Better yet, how often are the markets positive?
Pillar Capital provides investment management services focused on dimensions of returns, diversification, and investor discipline. Dimensions of returns refers to systematic differences in expected returns based on factors like company size, relative price, and profitability. Historical data shows that investing based on these dimensions has rewarded long-term investors. Portfolios can be structured to target dimensions shown to produce premiums, like favoring small cap, value, and high-profitability companies.

It also notes that expansions have typically lasted longer than recessions throughout history.
- Global bond markets were disrupted in the quarter as bond yields rose sharply due to expectations that the Federal Reserve would scale back its bond-buying program sooner than anticipated.
- Within fixed income, mortgage prepayment strategies detracted from performance but rebounded later in the quarter, while term-structure positioning and commercial mortgage-backed securities contributed to results.
- In stocks, selection strategies and some currency positions in non-directional strategies hurt returns in the 500 and 700 funds.
Following several years of relatively benign capital market volatility, it appears wider swings may finally be upon us. January produced multiple moves up and down in excess of 3%. Market Perspectives explores the meaning behind the volatility and how we may seek to take advantage of it.

New Market Highs and Positive Expected Returns
1. New Market Highs and
Positive Expected Returns
January 2017
There has been much discussion in the news recently about
new nominal highs in stock indices like the Dow Jones
Industrial Average and the S&P 500.
When markets hit new highs, is that an indication that it’s time for investors to cash out? History tells us that a market
index being at an all-time high generally does not provide actionable information for investors. For evidence, we can
look at the S&P 500 Index for the better part of the last century. Exhibit 1 shows that from 1926 through the end of
2016, the proportion of annual returns that have been positive after a new monthly high is similar to the proportion of
annual returns that have been positive after any index level. In fact, over this time period almost a third of the monthly
observations were new closing highs for the index. Looking at this data, it is clear that new index highs have
historically not been useful predictors of future returns.
Given that the level of an index by itself does not seemingly have a bearing on future returns, you may ask yourself a
more fundamental question: What drives expected returns for stocks?
2. Exhibit 1. S&P Total Return Index Highs: 1926–2016
Percent of Months With Positive Return Over Next 12-Month Period
From January 1926–December 2016, 319 months, or approximately 29% of monthly observations, were new
closing highs.
Note: 1,081 monthly observations.

POSITIVE EXPECTED RETURNS
One way to compute the current value of an investment is to estimate the future cash flows the investment is
expected to deliver and discount them back into today’s dollars. For an investment in a firm’s stock, this type of
valuation method allows expectations about a firm’s future profits to be linked to its current stock price through a
discount rate. The discount rate equals an investor’s expected return. A simple, but important, insight we glean from
this is that the expected return from holding a stock is driven by the price paid for it and what its investors expect to
receive.
Stock prices are the result of the interaction of many willing buyers and sellers. It is extremely unlikely that in
aggregate, those willing buyers apply negative discount rates to the expected profits of the firms they are purchasing.
Why? Because there is always a risk that expected profits will not materialize or that the price might decline because
of unanticipated future events. If investors apply positive discount rates to the cash flows they expect to receive from
owning a stock, we should expect the price of that stock to represent a level such that its expected return is always
positive. Unless the expected cash flows are persistently biased downward or upward, we can expect this to be the
case.
There is little evidence, though, that the aggregate expectations of investors that set market prices have been
persistently biased downward or upward. Many studies document that professional money managers have been
unable to deliver consistent outperformance by outguessing market prices. In the end, prices set by market forces are
difficult to outguess. The market does a good job setting prices, and we can assume that the expected return
investors have applied when setting prices are not biased.
Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that the price of a stock, or the price of a basket of stocks like the S&P 500
Index, should be set to a level such that its expected return is positive, regardless of whether or not that price level is
at a new high. This helps explain why new index highs have not, on average, been followed by negative returns. At a
new high, a new low, or something in between, expected returns are positive
.
3. EXPECTED RETURNS, REALIZED RETURNS, AND HOLDING HORIZONS
Today’s prices depend on expected returns and expectations about future profits. If either expected returns or
expectations about future profits change, prices will also change to reflect this new information. Changes in risk
aversion, tastes and preferences, expectations about future profits, or the quantity of risk can all drive changes in
expected returns. All else equal, an increase in expected returns is reflected through a drop in prices. A decrease in
expected returns is reflected through a rise in prices. Thus, realized returns can differ from expected returns.
This means there is a probability that the realized return on any stock, an index like the S&P 500, or the market as a
whole can be negative even when expected returns are positive. But what can we say about the relation between the
probability of a negative realized return and an investor’s holding horizon?
Exhibit 2 shows rolling 10-year performance of the equity market premium (equity returns minus the return of one-
month US Treasury bills, considered to be short-term, risk-free investments). In most periods it was positive, but in
several periods it underperformed.

In US dollars. The 10-year rolling equity premium is computed as the 10-year annualized compound return on the Fama/French Total US Market Index
minus the 10-year annualized compound return of the one-month US Treasury Bill. Fama/French indices provided by Ken French. Index descriptions

actual portfolio. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
There is uncertainty around how long periods of underperformance like this may last. Historically, however, the
probability of equity returns being positive increases over longer time periods compared to shorter periods. Exhibit 3
shows the percentage of time that the equity market premium was positive over different time periods going back to
1928. When the length of the time period measured increases, so does the chance of the equity market premium
being positive. So to answer our question from before: as an investor’s holding period increases, the probability of a
negative realized return decreases. This is why it is important to choose a level of equity exposure that you can stay
invested in over the long term.

CONCLUSION
By themselves, new all-time highs in equity markets have historically not been useful predictors of future returns.
While positive realized returns are never guaranteed, equity investments have positive expected returns regardless of
index levels or prior short-term market returns. The collective wisdom of market participants and their competitive
assessment of expected returns and risks allow investors to rely on the information contained in prices to inform their
investment decisions and assume positive expected returns from stocks. Historically speaking, over longer time
horizons, the odds of realized stock returns being positive have increased. This is one reason why investors should
consider investing a long-term commitment: Staying invested and not making changes based on short-term
predictions increases your likelihood of success.
