Our annualised 20-year real return is the average time-weighted return of
our total portfolio over that period. It is a rolling return.
High returns at the beginning of the tech bubble period in the late 1990s have
dropped out of the 20-year window, while the post-tech bubble declines remain.
This year’s 20-
year return covers
1999 to 2018
