Generally 30 year outcomes were within common average +/- 2 standard deviations, where AIM had a similar average outcome but achieved that with lower variance (standard deviation). So broadly around 8% averages for both stock and AIM, with stock 2% standard deviation compared to AIM's 1.5%, so lower (min) values of 8% - ( 2 x 2% ) = 4% SWR for stocks, 8% - ( 2 x 1.5% ) = 5% SWR for AIM
