performance.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, it serves as a salient reminder about the cost of delay and procrastination.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-short-term-returns-are-unimportant\"><span id=\"short-term-returns-are-unimportant\">Short-term returns are unimportant<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In isolation, short-term returns are meaningless.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s because your focus as an investor must be on maximising medium to long-term investment returns.<\/p>\n<p><em>What can I invest in today that is likely to generate the highest returns over the next 5 to 10 years?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>That is the question you must ask yourself.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, it\u2019s important to highlight at the beginning of this blog that you should not put too much importance on short-term (i.e. 1 year) investment returns.<\/p>\n<p>Resist the temptation to guess what asset class will perform best next year.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, ask yourself which asset class or investment will produce the highest returns over the next 5+ years i.e. between 2022 and 2027.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-share-markets\"><span id=\"share-markets\">Share markets<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

stocks.<\/p>\n<p>The second half was adversely impacted by a few things including the risk that higher inflation may not be transitory, interest rate hikes occurring sooner than expected, central banks tapering\u00a0Quantitative easing,\u00a0and more recently, the potential impact of the new Omnicom variant.<\/p>\n<p>The table below sets out returns until the end of November 2021 for the main

data-sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Australian bond investment returns this year are the worst since 1994.<\/p>\n<p>The Bloomberg AusBond Composite 0+ Yr Index lost 3.23% in the 12 months to the end of November 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Australian corporate bonds have performed slightly better losing circa 2% over the same period.<\/p>\n<p>Global bonds have also produced negative returns over the past 12 months \u2013 the Bloomberg Global Treasury Scaled Index (hedged) lost circa 1.5%.<\/p>\n<p>Bond values have been adversely impacted because the market has factored in the risk that interest rates may rise sooner than originally anticipated due to inflationary pressures.<\/p>\n<p>This is a lot more likely in the US than it is in Australia.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\"

overreacted to this risk.<\/p>\n<p>I should highlight that bonds play an important role in a portfolio\u2019s asset allocation because they are negatively correlated with shares.<\/p>\n<p>That means when shares rise in value, bonds tend to fall and vice versa.<\/p>\n<p>Given share markets are trading close to all-time highs, arguably maintaining bond exposure is even more important today.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-global-property-and-infrastructure\"><span id=\"global-property-and-infrastructure\">Global property and infrastructure<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Global property and infrastructure investments are regarded as defensive investments (i.e. safer) because they tend to have long-term contracted revenue, so their future cash flows are more certain.<\/p>\n<p>The global property

assets such as utilities (water, gas, electric), toll roads, pipelines, and other large, capital-intensive projects.<\/p>\n<p>Returns for these two asset classes to the end of November 2021 are set out below.<\/p>\n<p>Three issues have impacted returns over the past 12 months.<\/p>\n<p>Firstly, Covid lockdowns are adverse events because they reduce traffic and therefore revenue.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, low-interest rates positively impact these investments as these products tend to rely on debt funding.<\/p>\n<p>Thirdly, government fiscal policy throughout Covid tends to be focused on increasing infrastructure spending.<\/p>\n<p>The 12-month returns reflect the fact that these asset classes fell substantially between February and October 2020, due to Covid.<\/p>\n<h2
