Vanguard Australia has released its 2013 Index Chart tracking the 30 year performance of major asset class indices and providing a compelling argument for the benefits of long term index investing. To highlight performance of each index the chart tracks an initial $10,000 investment in Australian shares, International Shares, US Shares, Australian Bonds, Listed Property and cash respectively. Assuming no transaction costs or taxes and the reinvestment of all income, the chart shows that each of the model investments achieves significant growth over the long term. (VIEW LINK)
