a total balanced portfolio should bring in 8-10% a YEAR.
At 8% your money doubles every 9 years. at 10%, every 7.2 years.
A bank account is a low payer, under 4%. A CD in the US over 5%
Take a look at Yahoo Finance on the web, it's free and has all kinds of reports.
Look at a few average mutual funds.

I invested about $270 in Gold per ounce, using U.S. dollars in the summer of 2001.
The Gold I bought is now worth about $770 U. S. per ounce. A 6 year gain of $500 dollars per ounce. You figure out the percentage gain.

we invest in the hong kong hangseng index stocks.
we average 3%-4% gain on our investments monthly
if you invest in stocks only. that is a medium gain.
if you invest in mutual funds, that is considered a good gain
i would say anywhere starting from 2% per MONTH is considered good.
much better than the 4% offered for interest in banks

I assume you are asking about stocks, not bonds, or real estate or gold or pork bellies etc.
The stock market averages 10% a year and has for many years.
