Ten-year annual returns (CAGR) for the major asset classes — and the worst peak-to-trough fall each one suffered along the way. Anything clearing the inflation line grew real wealth; the red dot shows how rough the ride was.
10-year CAGR and maximum peak-to-trough drawdown. Each asset is measured in its own currency — gold, silver, US indices, Bitcoin and the RDA certificate in USD; UK and Dubai property in local terms; Pakistani assets in rupees. USD/PKR is listed separately, so a rupee investor holding a dollar asset would compound both. Money-market and income figures are fund proxies, and drawdown is “n/a” for yields that don’t mark to market. Past performance never guarantees future results — guidance only, not financial advice.
