We bring you the RIPPL Roundup each month to provide an early market snapshot for New Zealand and Australian financial advisers.
Our Key Observations:
- One month investment returns were brutal, unless you were holding plenty of cash.
- The USD took no prisoners over the month and year, driven by interest rate differentials and risk aversion.
- Outside of commodities and cash, the returns from hedge funds were the next best for the year, though still negative.
- If the Bledisloe was an award for the best equity market returns over the last year, Australia would have won it.
- Global bonds had the third worst one year return out of all graphed indices.
