Episode Description from the Publisher

"If you can get slightly better returns, it can lead to significantly more wealth."   The S&P 500 has averaged around 10% annually over the last century but getting even a few percentage points above that compounds dramatically over decades. This episode puts specific dollar numbers to what beating the market by 3%, 5%, or 7% actually means, then identifies ETFs that have historically delivered those returns.   Jaspreet Singh walks through five ETFs that have outperformed the S&P 500 over the last decade: growth stocks, tech, defense, momentum, and semiconductors. He then covers the two-part strategy that turns long-term ETF investing into a system that benefits from market crashes rather than suffering through them.   In this episode, you'll learn: The compounding math of beating the market: $10,000 invested for 30 years grows to $174,000 at 10%, $395,000 at 13%, $662,000 at 15%, and nearly $1.1 million at 17% without adding another dollar VOOG, the S&P 500 Growth ETF: invests only in the growth companies within the S&P 500, averaging approximately 16% annually over the last 10 years XLK, the S&P 500 Tech ETF: narrows exposure to the tech sector of the S&P 500, roughly 65 to 70 companies, averaging approximately 21% annually over the last decade PPA, the Aerospace and Defense ETF: invests in companies like Lockheed Martin, RTX, and General Dynamics, averaging approximately 19% annually with spending that tends to hold regardless of economic conditions SPMO, the S&P 500 Momentum ETF: targets the top 100 momentum stocks within the S&P 500, averaging a little more than 18% annually over the last 10 years SMH, the Semiconductor ETF: tracks companies building chips that power AI, data centers, and consumer electronics. Averaging approximately 33% annually over the last decade, more than double the S&P 500 QQQ as a bonus pick: gives exposure to the 100 largest non-financial companies (primarily tech) averaging approximately 18% annually, with more volatility in both directions than the broader market The ABB and BTD strategy: always be buying on a fixed schedule, and buy even more aggressively when markets drop because every recession and crash in the last 100 years has eventually recovered   Keywords: ETF investing, beat the S&P 500, semiconductor ETF, NASDAQ, tech investing, defense ETF, momentum investing, long-term investing, wealth building, always be buying   ✅ Register for my investing Workshop & get Market Briefs as a bonus: Below are my recommended tools!
