In this article, the author discusses the evolution of his thinking about the expected return of equities over three decades, pointing out what has stayed constant and what has changed, and provides his current estimates of the 10-year expected return of the S&P 500 Index. He also presents a simple universal portfolio that reflects his views and can be implemented at low cost by investors worldwide. Finally, he describes the evolution of his investment perspective from an asset-only perspective to an asset/liability/surplus perspective. His central results can be replicated using the S&P 500 dataset in the open-source R package PCRA and are relevant to CIOs and asset allocators as well as to individual investors.
