Does anybody on here have any information about the long term returns of the Total World stock market, including emerging markets, versus either the S&P 500 or US Total stock market index? I know that within the past five years, the US markets have outperformed but would be interested to know what their respective performances have been over, say 20-50 years. I did an internet search but couldn't really find anything, although I am sure that I read something on this particular topic (Charles Ellis/Burton Malkiel?) previously.
As ever, any responses from the very knowledgeable and gracious posters on this forum are very much appreciated. Thanks, in advance.
Global vs S&P 500 or Total Stock Market Returns
Re: Global vs S&P 500 or Total Stock Market Returns
You can go to http://www.msci.com/products/indexes/co ... mance.html and download country indexes starting in 1970 in Excel format. Just click on a row and a download menu will pop up. There is also a DFA PDF summarizing the 1900-2010 Dimson/Marsh/Stanton (DMS) data, but the server says error (404) at the moment: http://www.texpers.org/documents/confer ... 201202.pdf

Thanks, jaab. The first link was really helpful. Will keep rechecking the second. Much appreciated and provided the reassurance that I was seeking.
Re: Global vs S&P 500 or Total Stock Market Returns
Yes, I have noticed this too. The 404 already came up some weeks ago, but then the link started working again. Anyway, apparently Google has a cached version: https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http ... 201202.pdf
Click on File > Download to get the PDF.
Also don't overlook the download option for 1970-2014 at MSCI, there is more than the past 10 years available. Here are the instructions: https://www.msci.com/resources/pdfs/Ind ... ebsite.pdf
