Just the Facts, Part II
This week we’ll examine the numbers for investing in Growth vs. Value stocks, as well as some facts about investing in the international markets. All figures are gleaned from the 2003 Ibbotson Associates Yearbook. Ibbotson, in conjunction with the Center for Research in Security Prices at the University of Chicago, has developed its own method for determining asset class returns, with the numbers going back to 1968.
For the period 12/67-12/02, all value stocks (small, mid, and large) have far outpaced growth stocks, 12.5% on an annualized basis to 9.0%. Meaning that $1 grew to $61.26 for a value investment over the same period, versus just $20.32 for growth, not the latter is anything to sneeze at.
For the period 1993-2002:
All Growth +8.0% All Value ..+12.0%
Small Cap Growth .-2.8% Small Cap Value ..+12.3%
And I thought we’d take a look at the period 1992-2002, which encompasses 3 years of slow growth following a recession, a 5- year period of more robust growth, and then the 3-year ‘bursting of the bubble’ era that also included another recession.

For the period 1970-2002:
Europe 10.7% annualized return United States ..10.8%
International stocks significantly underperformed during the period 1995-97, due to poor returns from Asia, but European stocks matched up fairly well against the U.S.
..SP 500 .Int’l Europe
1995 .37.4.....11.6.....22.1 1996 .23.1......6.4 ..21.6 1997 .33.4......2.1 ..24.2
Since ’97, returns have been more similar, especially 2000-2002, with every broad-based region down from 8 to 26%, annually.
Seasonality
And for those operating under the old saw, buy in November and sell in May, looking at the S&P 500 index:
May has been negative 4 of the last 5 years June negative 2 of 5. July negative 5 of 5. August negative 3 of 5. September negative 4 of 5.
But October is positive 4 of the last 5 years.
*Wall Street History will return May 9.
