"Over the past three calendar years the median return was -1.3% pa, the poorest three-year return to December in the past 20 years and the only time a negative result has been recorded over such a period," Mercer Investment Consulting executive director Louis Boulanger said.
Mercer survey results showed that despite the lacklustre performance of global markets, the New Zealand sharemarket performed relatively well, with the gross benchmark index returning 0.9% over the past 12 months.
Property returns for the 2002 calendar year were 9.9% and fixed interest investment returned 8.7% domestically, and 12.1% globally if foreign currency exposures were fully hedged back to the New Zealand dollar.
Mercer survey results showed Arcus Investment Management achieved the highest return for the final quarter of 2002 with 4.4% return.
Mr Boulanger said Arcus' success was attributed to hedging its fund's exposure to the pound and the US dollar.
