Interest article about how investments across 12 major indices over the last 20 years produces a better annualized return than often the recommended S&P alone.

Just came across this article: https://www.financial-planning.com/news/investing-for-long-term-gains and in it, it is discussed how the volatility over the last 20 years just following the S&P Index alone, while still successful per Warren Buffet's recommendation, was severe and if you were to invest across all 12 indices, ...the deviation would be more subtle and also the return was ~ 6.8% outperforming the S&P.

The yellow highlighted areas represent the year's highest returns and by which fund. And the S&P had only 1 of them in the last 20 years.

Anyways fascinating article and curious on everyone's thoughts.
