When holding the iShares Core S&P 500 (IVV) ETF, how long should you stay invested to have high probability to achieve a positive return?
Over the selected period (~24 years), the longest duration with a negative return was 116 months (from January 2001 to August 2010).
This indicates that, within the same timeframe, any rolling period of 117 months or more has consistently resulted in a positive return.
Understanding this metric is crucial as it highlights the importance of a safe investment horizon. Knowing the minimum duration required to likely see positive returns helps investors set realistic expectations and reinforces the strategy of staying invested through market cycles. This approach can mitigate the emotional reactions to short-term market fluctuations and enhance the likelihood of achieving financial goals.
