9% return? What do you invest in? Risk free?

Oh! These statistics are not reliable. It depends on your asset allocation profile, time to entry, fees... Etc. That's the claim we see online in general but that's probably not necessarily true.

Even backtesting using a moving-window average should show different figures.
