Hi all! I am from India and a beginner. I am getting interest in developing generic strategies which would get a decent return on investments. Not too greedy but not below average.
Its been few days i am scanning the web for an answer. I want to know how much of a portfolio gain would be called normal or decent profit. What if my gain is 20% when the sensex has done +15% that year? Is this performance normal? or would 40% make people call me talented?
I have read some articles on forbes.com. Some fund managers profiled there get around 33% :-0in US markets. I think the great Warren Buffet has averaged around 30%. I also saw the Indian mutual fund returns. They talk of returns in the range of 15% to 25%...one was 28%. And then i stumbled on these Virtual stock market games on the internet. The gains are just insane. The leader has 1000% and above(probably annual)
. And check this out....http://stockmania.tk/rank.php
And then there is T2W forums itself. One guy was showing his transaction statements. He had made $25k+ starting from around 700$ in the forex market......all in a month. Repeats it every month:-0
So if the markets are so profitable then these high performance guys would be billionaires soon (I understand that it is difficult to produce such gains as the fund size grows).
So tell me people, according to you what would be a decent portfolio gain in % terms? (for equity,commodities,forex)
