Getting good data is a big hurdle for retail investors. Reliable return histories are often locked behind thousand dollar a year subscriptions. But you can get a lot for free.
Below is a small return dataset covering developed-market stocks, sovereign bonds, interest rates, and currencies.
The goal is to consolidate the kinds of return series that are useful for testing global asset allocation strategies, especially those involving foreign equity, sovereign bonds, and currency hedging.
Data is pulled from reliable sources like the Fed, the OECD, and the World Bank.
The dataset includes 50+ years of coverage across several files. All available for free on GitHub. Check it out!
