In this episode of “What’s the Risk?” we take a look at the historic performance of the MSCI World ex Australia Index (net div., AUD). Some people would know the ETF that seeks to track the performance of this index as Vanguard’s VGS ETF. We go back to the inception of the index in 1975 to look at the ups and downs along the way, including long and short term periodic performance, growth of wealth, range of returns and average returns, rolling annual returns, largest fall and time to recovery, and the risk return relationship compared to some other asset classes.
We specifically take a look at the patience that was required by investors across the 2000’s due a torrid time for the US due to the dotcom bubble, terrorism, war and a global financial crisis.
