Goldman Sachs predicts that the S&P 500 index will have an annual return rate of 6.5% over the next 10 years.

On November 12, Goldman Sachs strategists expect that U.S. stock market returns will slightly lag behind global markets over the next decade. Analyst Peter Oppenheimer and his team recommend that investors increase diversified investments outside the U.S., as the high valuations of U.S. stocks limit returns. Goldman Sachs strategists predict that the S&P 500 index will have an annual return of 6.5% over the next 10 years, the weakest among all regions. Meanwhile, emerging markets are expected to perform the strongest, with an annual return of up to 10.9%. After a decade of sustained strong performance driven by the surge in tech stocks and the AI boom, the S&P 500 index has risen 16% this year, while MSCI's global index (excluding the U.S.) has risen 27%. Strategists expect that the returns in emerging markets in the coming years will be driven by strong earnings growth in China and India. Japan's annual return is expected to reach 8.2%, while Europe is anticipated to provide investors with an annual return of 7.1%. (Jin10 )
