Come the liquidity crunch, everything will go down.m_c_s said:
Capital gearing is up 5.8% over the last year so cash has not performed better.Type_45 said:m_c_s said:Capital Gearing Trust is only down 0.97% year to date and up 0.2% over the last 6 months so doing quite well.
It is an interesting asset mix:Index Linked Gov’t Bonds 32%
Conventional Gov’t Bonds 6%
Pref Shares / Corp Debt 11%
Funds / Equities 44%
Cash 6%
Gold 1%
With the 44% funds and equities comprising:
Equities 16%
Property 16%
Loans 4%
Infrastructure 8%
Private Equity / Hedge 1%
Cash has performed better than that...3 -
