    Bruce Teele (AFIC Chairman) says ...

    'In strongly rising markets,... interest in investment companies wanes as many investors take a greater interest in managing their own portfolios. Also the supply of newly listed managed investments continued apace through the year with a number of larger offerings coming to the market.

    We also observe from our analysis of share performance history that the Company tends to underperform the market in a strongly rising market and tends to outperform in falling markets.

    However, over the longer term, across these cycles total shareholder return moves closer to the underlying performance of the portfolio.'
