Data Update: Mid-year 2024
Published: Summer 2024
This guide is intended to provide Canadian financial planners with our best estimates of future asset class returns and volatilities to produce financial projections for their clients. We assume that investors hold a broadly diversified portfolio of publicly traded global fixed-income securities and equity, including developed and emerging stock markets. These estimates are valid uniquely in the context of an investor who purposely avoids concentration in one or a few securities or sectors. Our investment horizon is 30 years. Key inputs are highlighted in green for the NaviPlan financial planning software users. We have added an appendix to provide users of NaviPlan with data presented in a more user-friendly format.
