Part 3
ROLLING RETURNS, 1982 - 2019: S&P 100 Index
Rolling Period Last / Percentile Best / Average / Worst
1 Year 4% / 29th 51% / 9% / -43%
2 Year 16% / 43rd 79% / 20% / -46%
4 Year 33% / 37th 193% / 44% / -39%
8 Year 107% / 55th 332% / 97% / -46%
16 Year 155% / 45th 942% / 259% / 12%
How do you read the table?
For example: Rolling 2 year period returns are shown on the second row. In the
latest rolling 2 year period, (6/2017 - 5/2019), the S&P 100 Index returned 16%.
That period scored in the 43rd percentile, meaning that it scored better than
43% of all rolling 2 year periods since 1982. The Best rolling 2 Year period
since 1982 returned 79%. The worst returned -46%. The average rolling 2 year
period returned 20%.
What is a rolling period?
It's an overlapping period in a data base. For example: In the 2 year period
included in 2000 - 2001, there are 13 complete rolling 12 Month Periods. The
first is January, 2000 - December, 2000. The second is February, 2000 -
January, 2001. The third is March, 2000 - February, 2001 and so on. The last
complete rolling 12 Month Period in the 2000 - 2001 period is January, 2001 -
December, 2001.
How is this information useful?
Best and worst case scenarios may be estimated based on historical facts.
Also, the relationship of the periods is sometimes very helpful. Suppose that the
worst rolling 8 year period in the last 50 years returned -30%. Suppose also
that the latest 4 year period has returned -50%. Market psychology at this point
may be one of great fear or possibly even panic. If the market stays flat for 4
more years, it will break the 8 year decline record by a whopping 20%! (-50%
minus -30% equals -20%.) 50 plus year records are not often broken. That
provides reason to hope that the market will recover that 20% over the next 4
years. If it does, then the 8 year loss will be 30%. The longest index histories
are found in the DJIA, FTSE 100 with FT 30, DJTA, DJUA, S&P 500, & NASDAQ
100
The number of periods in each category for the S&P 100 Index are as follows:
1 Year: 430
2 Year: 418
4 Year: 394
8 Year: 346
16 Year: 250
Dividends are not included.
