Quarterly investment update - December 2011

  • The December quarter was positive for most asset classes, although sharemarket returns were down for the year as a whole.
  • Concerns over the future of Europe continued to dominate investor sentiment as 2011 ended.
  • The US remains one bright spot for investors, with growth returning to the economy and unemployment falling.
  • Asian markets were the laggards in 2011, buffeted by a series of natural disasters and worries about future Chinese growth.
  • Australian equities had their worst year since 2008, with two interest rate cuts over the past quarter failing to lift the gloom.
  • The oil price rose as tensions grew between the US and Iran.
