Charlie Bilello: S&P 500 averages 12 percent yearly return since 1980 despite risk
S&P 500 gains come with volatility risk

Charlie Bilello, chief market strategist at Creative Planning, highlights that the S&P 500 has returned an average of 12 percent per year since 1980, even with typical intra-year drawdowns of minus 14 percent.

He emphasizes that achieving strong investment returns in equity markets inherently involves risk, suggesting there is no upside without accepting periods of downside volatility.

Bilello has also tracked recent inflation metrics, noting that U.S. producer prices increased 5.4 percent over the past year. In a separate report, he covered South Africa’s central bank decision to raise its policy rate to 7.25 percent with a 25 basis point hike. These updates build on his ongoing coverage of global market developments.
