Using Zacks Rank Profit Power — Average Gain +24.3% Per Year

S&P 500 vs. Zacks #1 Rank List Hypothetical Return on 10K Investment: Jan 1, 1988 - Dec 30, 2024

$529,747 S&P 500

$29,987,299 Zacks #1
Rank List

The S&P 500 Index is owned and published by McGraw-Hill

All of our portfolios — from value and growth, to stable income and ETFs — — from value to growth, from stable income to ETFs — are grounded in Zacks Rank fundamentals.

This unbiased, mathematical system has more than doubled the S&P 500's average yearly gain. Even through three recessions and many corrections, it has averaged +24.3% per year.

Let's suppose you had invested $10,000 in the S&P 500 in 1988. You would have more than $520,000 today.

But if you had put that same $10,000 into the Zacks Rank system, with rebalancing at each period and not counting fees, it could have compounded to more than $29.9 million dollars.

The Zacks #1 Rank Performance covers the period beginning on January 1, 1988 through December 30, 2024. The performance is the equal weighted performance of a hypothetical portfolio consisting of stocks with a Zacks Rank of #1 that was rebalanced monthly from January 1988 through December 2013 and weekly from 12/31/13 through Monday's open on December 30, 2024. For each stock with a Zacks Rank #1 at the beginning of the month, the total return during the month was calculated as the % change in the price of the stock from the closing price of the prior month to the closing price of the current month plus any dividends received during the month. The monthly individual stock returns were then averaged to determine the portfolio return for the month. For each stock with a Zacks Rank #1 at the beginning of the week, the total return during the week was calculated as the % change in the price of the stock from the opening price for the week to the opening price of the next week plus any dividends received during the week. The weekly individual stock returns were then averaged to determine the portfolio return for the week. If no month-end price or week end open price was available for a stock, it was not included in the portfolio return for the month or the week. The monthly and weekly returns were compounded to arrive at the annual returns. The annualized return is the annual return that, had it been achieved in each year or portion of a year, would have compounded to create the total return over the full time period. These returns are based on the list of Zacks Rank #1 Stocks that was available to clients of Zacks as of the beginning of the month, when returns were calculated monthly, or as of the beginning of the week when returns were calculated weekly. These returns are higher than the returns an investor could achieve investing real money in a portfolio of Zacks Rank #1 stocks because the returns of the hypothetical Zacks Rank #1 portfolio exclude a number of costs, including commissions incurred for trading, the average bid ask spread, the price impact of the trading and, prior to 2013, in those months when the end of the month fell on Friday, Saturday or Sunday, the overnight return from the month end close to the open on the next trading day. The S&P 500 is an unmanaged index. Visit www.zacks.com/performance_disclosure for information about the performance numbers displayed above.
