  • Could 5 FTSE Shares Grow £20,000 into £424,611 with 13% Annual Returns?
    June 12, 2026, 5:55 AM EDT. Since June 2021, the FTSE 100's average annual return has been 8%, but five third-ranked shares across banking, mining, energy, retail, and insurance sectors have averaged 13%. Investing £20,000 equally in NatWest Group, Glencore, BP, Next, and Aviva, and assuming a 13% annual return over 25 years, could potentially grow the portfolio to £424,611. NatWest leads with a 21% average return, benefiting from higher interest rates and strong acquisitions, backed by analyst consensus and a predicted dividend yield rising to 7.6% by 2028. However, risks include its heavy UK economy exposure and potential policy changes. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results, but 16% of FTSE All-Share companies surpassed these returns since 2021, spotlighting significant long-term growth potential in selected FTSE shares.
