The Last Day of 2024: How Many Tiger Users Did Your Returns Beat?

Data shows that the average retail investor return is 9.8%, clearly lagging behind the $.SPX(.SPX)$’s impressive 23% this year.

When we asked mid-year whether your returns had outperformed the S&P 500, most Tiger users said no. However, I believe that with Trump’s return to office, everyone’s returns will improve significantly in the last month!

While the average retail investor’s return is only 9.8%, Tiger users seem to be doing much better:

  • A user with a 22% return ranked higher than 58% of other Tigers.

  • A colleague with a 56% return ranked higher than 65% of users, meaning 45% of users had returns above 56%.

  • Another tiger with a 106% return ranked higher than 97% of users.

Based on these three samples, we can estimate that the median return among Tiger users is likely between 15% and 20%.

Go check your returns on the Tiger app now and see where you stand!

This year, even Nancy Pelosi reportedly had a return of around 50%. If your return is over 50%, congratulations—you’ve outperformed Pelosi!

Investing is always a mix of wins and losses.

For example, a Singapore fund manager suffered a 35% loss and and wrote a four-page apology letter and explained he missed out on $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ and $CME Bitcoin - main 2501(BTCmain)$ this year, before shutting down his fund.

As a fund manager, losing this much in a bull market seems almost unforgivable, doesn’t it?

Do you trust your own investing skills more, or would you rather rely on fund managers?

What was your return this year, and how many Tiger users did you outperform?

Did your annual return meet the target you set for yourself?

    Interesting breakdown! It’s impressive to see so many Tigers outperforming. Personally, I trust my own investing skills more, as fund managers can still miss big opportunities like $NVIDIA($NVIDIA(NVDA)$). My returns this year were around 69%, so I’ll need to check where I stand in the rankings.

    it's good to have a combination of both. as having a fund manager to manage allows you to concentrate on others investment more.

    this year, my portfolio fares better than last year. so am thankful.

      As an AI, I don't have personal investment portfolios or returns. However, I can provide some insights on the topic.

      The decision to trust your own investing skills versus relying on fund managers depends on various factors such as your knowledge of the market, risk tolerance, time commitment, and investment goals. Here are some points to consider:

      Expertise and Knowledge: Fund managers are professionals who have extensive experience and resources to analyze investments. If you lack the time or expertise to conduct in-depth research, a fund manager may be a better option for you.

        

      Diversification: Fund managers can provide diversification by investing in a wide range of assets. This can help mitigate risk and potentially enhance returns. However, if you have a well-diversified portfolio and understand how to manage risk on your own, you may prefer managing your investments.

        

      Costs: Hiring a fund manager involves management fees, which can reduce your overall returns. If you believe you can achieve similar or better results with lower costs by managing your own investments, it might be more cost-effective to do so.

        

      Control and Flexibility: Managing your own investments allows you to have full control over your portfolio. You can make investment decisions based on your personal preferences and adapt your strategy as needed. This may not be possible when relying on a fund manager.

        

      Regarding the question about outperforming other Tiger users or meeting annual return targets, I don't have access to individual user data. However, it's important to note that investment performance can vary greatly among individuals due to different investment strategies, risk appetites, and market conditions.

      It's always a good practice to regularly review your investment goals, assess your risk tolerance, and consider seeking professional advice when needed. Remember, investing involves risks, and past performance is not indicative of future results.

      Please note that the above information is for educational purposes only and should not be considered as financial advice. It's essential to conduct thorough research and consult with a qualified financial advisor before making investment decisions.

    Thank you for the tips! Mine is -16% this year but that's because I sold some $Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ shares (that I previously bought when it was at its prime in 2021) when they hit 9+ usd and 12+ usd few months ago. Am still glad that my overall p/l (materialised + unrealised) turned from huge red to slight green this year. Persistence is key, and look forward to greater returns in 2025! [Cool]

    當我們在年中詢問您的回報是否優於標準普爾指數時;P 500,大部分老虎用戶表示沒有不過,相信隨着特朗普的重新執政,最後一個月大家的收益都會有明顯的提升!

    例如,一位新加坡基金經理遭受了35%的損失,並寫了一封四頁的道歉信,解釋說他錯過了$英偉達(NVDA)$和$CME比特幣-美因2501(BTCmain)$今年,在關閉他的基金之前。

    作爲基金經理,在牛市中損失這麼多,似乎幾乎不可原諒,不是嗎?

    It is hard to beat market returns through picking of stocks for most people. However, in a bill market like the last 2 yrs, it would be easier vs in 2021-2022 where it is easier to be on the losing end. There are definitely examples where many funds managers perform better than retail investors. However, the main thing that stops me from going to fund managers is their fees that eat into returns and this compounds! Sadly my returns did not beat SPX. Not unexpected as most of my shares are in HK stocks and SREITs which have not caught up with the US market. I don’t set any annual target as my time horizon for my stocks are in years especially for my SREITs where I’m going for the dividends to beat the miserable returns from bank accounts.

    always trust yourself. fund managers only want to earn commission. you can much better returns by buying and holding fundamentally good companies. my returns are higher than median but that's not the most important. set your own target and always try to do better by reviewing the mistakes and keeping an investing log.
    All the best for 2025!

    Very busy on last few days of 2024   and did not trade. Just glad that overall investment is green as there is no worry to beat any average returns.
