An annual study from Dalbar Inc. found that while the S&P 500 managed to post an average annual total return of 8.35% from 1989-2008, the average equity fund investor realized an annual return of just 1.87% due to the adverse effects of market timing, according to MSNMoney.com. An investment of $10,000 in 1989 would have grown to $49,725 if left alone. Using the 1.87% annual return of the average equity fund investor that $10,000 would have grown to just $14,485.
