@PBDsPodcastPrivate Equity Has Outperformed Every Stock Market in the World for 39 Straight Years @TonyRobbins: "For the last 39 straight years, private equity has outproduced every stock market in the world, every year. The S&P 500 averaged 9% pretty nice compounding. But basic private equity? 15.7%. That's 74% more per year compounded." "If you put a million dollars 39 years ago and forgot about it in the S&P, you'd be a happy camper, you got $28.6 million. If you took that same money and put it in private equity, it's $293 million. Tenfold."
