Market Metrics: MSCI AC World Index
Posted by Dejan Pekic
The latest MSCI AC World Index is in, with some startling results. The data tracks five-year cumulative returns across global markets, which is the total growth over five years assuming reinvestments of dividends and capital gains.
While there was overall strong performance across global equities, of note were individual market results. Several international markets outperformed the US, with Greece, Peru and the Czech Republic leading percentage returns. Other strong performers were India, Japan and European stocks.
At the other end of the scale, the New Zealand Stock Exchange failed to deliver a positive total cumulative return over the past five years, alongside Indonesian and Chinese markets. So had you invested in New Zealand, Indonesia or China during that period, you would have gained nothing.
It’s a stark reminder that markets can fail to perform, which is why a diversified portfolio and personalised financial planning are so important.
