What is a "good" ROI on a personal portfolio?

I know this is subjective, but looking for a general range for target ROI on a portfolio. I believe the S&P is historically around 10% (maybe a bit higher in the recent short-term). What do you guys target?

I’d say anything over 15% would be considered good. Anything below that you’re better off just going s&p index fund in my opinion. It’s tough to consistently beat the s&p but some people seem to be able to do it.

If you aren't making 15% it's not worth the effort.

People (mostly new investors) have been spoiled with market performance the last 8 years or so.
Historical average is 10% and that should be the target for what’s considered “great”. Anything else and you’re beating the market, and that’s exceptional.

Exactly. You can tell who hasn't experienced too many market cycles before.

Over the last 40 years to average 10% you needed a bunch of years with returns in the high 20% range. Hitting a 10% return is not going to look that great when we again have a few years of negative or low single digit returns.
