Periodic table of returns
Each asset class is a colored tile that climbs or sinks in the yearly ranking — the classic Callan chart. Best performers rank first. Built from ETF total returns (dividends reinvested). Toggle the orientation if you prefer years across the top.
Methodology
Each asset class is proxied by a liquid ETF (shown in the legend). Annual total return uses the ETF's split- and dividend-adjusted year-end close versus the prior year-end. The most recent column is year-to-date and still moving. The table reaches back to 2000; a bucket only appears once its ETF has a full prior-year close, so earlier years show empty cells where a proxy didn't yet exist. Past performance does not predict future returns; not investment advice.
