Inflation-Adjusted iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV)

The iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) tracks the S&P 500 Index, offering investors exposure to 500 of the largest US companies.

Understanding an investment's true growth requires looking beyond its nominal price changes. This page adjusts IVV's historical prices for inflation using the US Consumer Price Index to show its real performance. Explore the charts and data below to compare the nominal and inflation-adjusted values and see the ETF's actual long-term growth.

Nominal prices are adjusted for stock splits and assume reinvestment of any dividends to reflect total return. Inflation-adjusted prices use September 2025 as the baseline (latest available CPI).

The current value of the iShares Core S&P 500 ETF is 687.85 (as of the close of Dec 4, 2025), 0.41% lower than the all-time high of 690.71 (Oct 29, 2025).

Since May 19, 2000, the inflation-adjusted total return for the ETF has been 307.18%, which is equivalent to an annual growth rate of 5.65%.

In nominal values, the total return since this date has been 671.15%, or an annualized rate of 8.32%.

How much did an investment in the IVV ETF really grow each year after accounting for inflation? The following chart contains the inflation-adjusted real annual percentage returns.

Detailed Annual Returns (Adjusted vs. Nominal)

The table below shows the returns for the iShares Core S&P 500 ETF by year, both inflation-adjusted and nominal. You can sort any column by clicking on the header.

Observe how inflation erodes nominal gains, sometimes resulting in a negative real return even when the ETF nominally increased, as in 2011.

Ishares Core S&P 500 Etf: Average Annualized Returns

Annualized returns show the average rate of growth per year, making it easier to compare performance across different time periods. While nominal returns indicate the headline growth, adjusting for inflation reveals the actual change in purchasing power.

This table presents both nominal and inflation-adjusted average annual returns for the iShares Core S&P 500 over various trailing periods ending September 30, 2025, offering a clearer view of long-term, real investment performance.

Period Avg. Annual Return (Inflation-Adjusted) Avg. Annual Return (Nominal)
Last 1 year 14.08% 17.52%
Last 3 years 21.19% 24.89%
Last 5 years 11.39% 16.44%
Last 10 years 11.72% 15.25%
Last 20 years 8.21% 10.9%

Real Returns of Investing in the iShares Core S&P 500

The chart and table below show the nominal and inflation-adjusted value of a hypothetical $100 investment over various long-term historical periods, ending in September 2025.

The inflation-adjusted line, in green, represents the real increase in purchasing power for the initial investment. Observe the gap between both lines, which illustrates the cumulative effect of inflation over time.

Even over just five years, inflation takes a noticeable bite out of investments. Investing $100 in the iShares Core S&P 500 five years ago yielded an 146.69% nominal gain, but the real return (the actual increase in buying power) was 96.47%.

As investment periods get longer, the difference between reported nominal returns and the inflation-adjusted gains usually becomes much greater due to the compounding effect of inflation over time.

Investment Period What $100 Grew To (Nominal) Total Nominal Return (%) Total Inflation-Adjusted Return (%)
Last 5 years Feb 2020 - Sep 2025 $246.69 146.69% 96.47%
Last 10 years Feb 2015 - Sep 2025 $381.46 281.46% 175.67%
