Below is a table showing our portfolio investment returns over the last 1, 3 and 5 years to December 2014. On a 3 and 5 year basis our three portfolios on average have outperformed the industry by 2% per annum. Over the last year investment returns have slowed as we have been warning. Equity returns of 17% p.a. for the previous four years are unsustainable resulting in lower equity (Aggressive Portfolio) returns of 9.9% in 2014. We believe 2015 should produce another year of moderate investment returns.
