How Are We Measuring Up?

Here are some top investment guru's annualized returns

• Peter Lynch, he posted a 29.2% average annual return over 13 years
• Warren Buffett, from 1965-2005,over 40 years  has produced an annual average return of 21.5%
• Anthony Bolton,  his Special Situations the fund achieved an average annual return of 19.5% over 28 years
• Bill Miller, Portfolio Manager of Legg Mason Value Trust (LMVTX). Since inception, his fund has earned 15.25% average annual total returns over 15 years

If considering time and return, I would rank in the order

• Warren Buffet - 21.5%
• Anthony Bolton - 19.5%
• Peter Lych - 29.2%
• Bill Miller - 15.25%

I think if we can achieve annualized returns over 10-12%, we can congratulate ourselves to be successful in managing our returns on investment.

So what is your annualized return?
