Beyond the Disclaimer: Is past performance really a guide to future returns?

In this issue, we look back at 60 years of changing market leadership, exploring how few of the world’s largest companies have managed to remain at the top and what this can tell us about past performance.

We explore why chasing recent winners and focusing on short-term performance can be misleading. With market leadership continually changing, the report highlights why diversification, an appropriate investment timeframe and focusing on the right return for the right investor remain important when investing for the long term.

Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.

The value of your investments (and any income from them) can go down as well as up and you may not get back the full amount you invested.
