Despite all that has happened in the market the last couple of years, there are still plenty of funds that have great track records, including the recession years.

I own 2 particular funds: VGHCX and HRTVX. I've been in both for more than 10 years.

VGHCX has a 10-year return of 9.5%/year
HRTVX has a 15-year return of 9.64%/year

It isn't quite 10%, but it is darn close. So it is possible to approach that 10% mark. The problem is there is no way to know today what funds will post those types of numbers 10 years from now.
