Looking back of the past year Aon notes that managers, overall, earned very high real rates of return. However, the firm warns that even if equities manage to return between 10 per cent and 12 per cent, the return on balanced portfolios will probably not exceed 5 per cent to 6 per cent after tax, on average over the next few years.« Weekly briefs | Get your tax questions answered online » |
