Anyone know where I can go about getting
the Compound annual rate of return for the ASX index in the last decade?


Thanks

Do you mean the accumulation index (XJOAI)? I think that re-invest all dividends.

Or do you mean re-invest all the gains? That would just be the index itself...

Say XJO in Year 2000 = 3000 pts. In 2011 = 5000. CAGR = 4.7%

The best way to calculate the compound return of the ASX 200 is to use the accumulation index that includes re-invested dividends.
On 31st Dec 2000 the index was 15404, and finishing on 31st Jan 2011 @ 34,582.

So the compounded annual return since 31st Dec 2000 is 7.57%.

Here is a graph -

I used XJOAI

Out of interest I checked whether investing in the ETF STW.asx (S&P 200 index) since its launch in 2001 replicated in real life the accumulation index.
Buying 10,000 STW in August 2001 with dividend re-investment gives you 14,500 shares today.

10,000 STW cost $328,300 which is worth $670,770 today.

The accumulation index suggests it should be worth $731,000.

Interesting tracking error. The STW management fee should only make a 3% difference over 10 years.
