Stocks: OECD Financial market statistics (CC BY 4.0): each country's broad national share price index, averaged over the month. Local currency, price only (no dividends). Rebasing is a Palanor calculation. Without dividends, which add to a shareholder's return. U.S. stocks are in U.S. dollars, with no exchange rate applied. Cash: Palanor calculation compounding the Bank of Canada's target for the overnight rate (Valet series V39079) month by month, a stand-in for Treasury bill interest; Palanor holds no Treasury bill series. Before tax and fees. Content obtained from the Bank of Canada; the compounding is Palanor's change.
What 10,000 grew to since 2015 in Canadian stocks, U.S. stocks and cash earning the Bank of Canada's policy rate. Share prices only: dividends are left out, so the stock lines understate a shareholder's return.
