Anyone who bought a global stock index fund just after Lehman Brothers imploded was way too early, while someone who’d bought the fund then and forgot about it would have more than doubled their money over 10 years, BrettArends writes. This is a great moment to think about investing for retirement
The latest “global fund manager” survey from BofA Securities confirms what even a casual glance at the financial news should already have made clear: Markets have already fallen so far, and so many investors have already bailed, that future returns over the next 5 to 10 years or more are highly likely to be pretty good.

My 401 is DOWN thanks to this FAILED ADMINISTRATION! IRS increases 401(k), IRA contribution limits for inflationStarting next year, Americans can contribute up to $22,500 into 401(k), 403(b) and most 457 plans — $2,000 more than the current $20,500 contribution limit, the IRS announced Friday. That would be great if inflation hadn’t ensured that we are living paycheck to paycheck with no room for savings.

The Vanguard Total World Stock ETF VT, +2.

Why it matters: With the cost-of-living adjustments, Americans will be able to save more money for retirement, which in many cases will lower their income tax. The latest survey of worldwide professional money managers “screams macro capitulation, investor capitulation, start of policy capitulation,” reports Bank of America.

Although the funds are taxed when withdrawn, the compounding of the enhanced (tax-deferred) rate of return can mean significantly higher balances than taxable accounts with the same investments. The IRS makes such cost-of-living adjustments annually, but in times of painfully high inflation, the increases are more significant and impactful for taxpayers. Managers are holding the highest levels of cash and equivalents (such as Treasury bills) since early 2001, while their investment levels in global stock markets are now “three standard deviations” below the averages of the last 20 years—a statistical measure meaning really, really low. Their least favored markets are London (no surprise) and the eurozone (ditto), and their least favored stock market sectors include real-estate investment trusts, banks, telecoms companies and consumer staples.

We already know that, historically, you’ve done pretty well if you’ve just bought stocks when everyone else was selling (and sold when everyone else was buying). We saw similar levels of gloom, doom, misery and panic during the 2000-3 bear market and the global financial crisis of 2007-9.

But the further you are from the markets, and the less you are actively trading, the less you should care.3%. Stocks fell about 50% overall during 2000-3 and 2007-9, and, yes, it is perfectly possible they will do so again. That would imply a further fall of about a third from current levels.

For those who participate in SIMPLE plans — which provide small employers with a way to contribute toward their employees' and their own retirement savings — the maximum amount individuals can contribute is $15,500, up from $14,000. So anyone thinking in terms of weeks, months or even a couple of years might reasonably stay clear. Money manager John Hussman warns that the S&P 500 SPY, +2.

Story continues "For people who have had an increase in pay recently — either by switching jobs, getting a promotion or a bonus — this could be a good opportunity to put more of that income away for their future retirement," Kelly LaVigne, vice president of consumer insights at Allianz Life, told Yahoo Money.43% would have to fall by about two-thirds from its start of the year peak just to achieve “historically run-of-the-mill valuations.” But how much should that really matter to long-term investors? For example during the 2000-3 bear market we’d reached this stage—a 25% decline from the peak—by March 2001." New income thresholds for IRAs Individuals can only contribute to Roth IRAs if they meet certain income conditions.

If you’d bought stocks then hoping for happy days you were way too early: Stocks would continue sliding for another two years, helped by the long lead up to the Iraq war. But…if you’d bought a global stock market index fund in March 2001 and then just forgotten about it within five years you’d have made a 44% return, and over 10 years 66%.

Janna is the personal finance editor for Yahoo Money. Once again, anyone who bought a global stock index fund then was also way too early: Markets carried on falling for nearly six more months. On the other hand, someone who’d bought a global stock index fund then and forgot about it would have made 56% over the next five years and more than doubled their money—a gain of 123%—over 10 years.
