Market update
December Wrap Up - 2025 - More of the same?
2024 was one for the record books. It was the second year in a row that the United States S&P 500 share market gained more than 20%, the first time this has happened since 1998. It rang in a new president for the United States. Central banks all around the world, including our own, cut interest rates. And there was significant, almost unprecedented, divergence in markets and stock prices between the haves; the AI focussed stocks, and the have nots; pretty much everything else.
As you are enjoying a relaxing start to your year it's a good time to ponder what 2025 might hold. There will be a lot of predictions shared in newspapers and in the media. Spoiler alert: the more precise those predictions are, the more wrong they are likely to be. Investment success in 2025 will come from ensuring portfolios are well positioned for the broader economic themes that are likely to play out, and through old fashioned investment discipline; not chasing investment fashion, adding to your investments if possible, having patience and taking a genuine long-term approach.

- Returns are for periods after the commencement of PIE status. For all funds (except for the Positive Impact Fund and Aggressive Fund) this was 1 October 2007. Contributions were first invested into the Positive Impact Fund on 26 July 2019 and into the Aggressive Fund on 22 November 2023.
- The returns are calculated on the change in exit price of the units in each fund for the period, adjusted for tax credits, and are the returns on funds invested at the beginning of the period, with all distributions reinvested and no subsequent withdrawals or additional investments. Returns for periods greater than 1 year are annualised. Returns for periods less than 1 year are not annualised.
- Since 7 September 2012, the cash portion of each fund has been managed using an active investment management style. The returns in previous periods reflect an index tracking investment management style for cash.
