After a strong 2025 where the local index was up over 40%, driven by precious metals – 2026 is turning out different.
The US invasion of Iran on the last day in February spooked markets but they have largely recovered and Emerging Market ETFs are doing great but AI tops the list with EasyETFs.
Global funds generally are also doing well while the bottom of the list is commodities. This after the Resi10 index more than doubled last year.
Of the big global indices Nasdaq is well ahead at +17%, Japan over 12% higher and the S&P500 almost 7% higher. Locally the Top40 is down around 5% as the Fini15 leads the way up over 5%.
The numbers below are excluding any dividends received which of course distorts income returns. We also include the five year Compound Average Growth Rate (CAGR) for the longer-term view.
