SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust is a unit investment trust. Co. provides investors with the opportunity to purchase a security representing a proportionate undivided interest in a portfolio of securities consisting of all of the component common stocks, in the same weighting, which comprise the Standard & Poor's 500® Index. The YTD Return on S&P 500 is shown above.
The YTD Return on the YTD Return on S&P 500 page and across the coverage universe of our site, is a measure of the total return for a given investment year-to-date for the current calendar year (up to the end of prior trading session). Arguably, choosing the current calendar year for a measurement period is on the one hand completely arbitrary, but on the other hand a year-to-date look can be extremely useful in the context of our country's tax system which taxes gains and income on a calendar year basis.
Thus, researching Year-To-Date Returns is good practice for investors — whether YTD Return on S&P 500 or other benchmarks/peers— and when doing so it is also important to factor in dividends, because a financial instrument's YTD return is more than just the change in price if that instrument pays a dividend or coupon. Our website aims to empower investors by performing the SPY YTD return calculation (with any dividends reinvested as applicable), and to provide a coverage universe of many stocks and ETFs to be able to compare YTD returns.

Looking at the S&P 500 for the years 1993 to mid-2023, the average stock market return for the last 30 years is 9.90% (7.22% when adjusted for inflation). Some of this success can be attributed to the dot-com boom in the late 1990s (before the bust), which resulted in high return rates for five consecutive years.
Assuming an average annual return rate of about 10% (a typical historical average), a $10,000 investment in the S&P 500 could potentially grow to approximately $25,937 over 10 years.
Investing in an S&P 500 fund can instantly diversify your portfolio and is generally considered less risky. S&P 500 index funds or ETFs will track the performance of the S&P 500, which means when the S&P 500 does well, your investment will, too. (The opposite is also true, of course.)
S&P 500 2 Year Return is at 15.98%, compared to 16.51% last month and 3.43% last year. This is higher than the long term average of 14.07%. The S&P 500 2 Year Return is the investment return received for a 2 year period, excluding dividends, when holding the S&P 500 index.
General ROI: A positive ROI is generally considered good, with a normal ROI of 5-7% often seen as a reasonable expectation. However, a strong general ROI is something greater than 10%. Return on Stocks: On average, a ROI of 7% after inflation is often considered good, based on the historical returns of the market.
Historically, the average annual return for stocks has been around 8-10%. The range of potential annual returns for a portfolio with 10% bonds and 90% stocks would likely be wider than a portfolio with 10% stocks and 90% bonds.
