A sharp turnaround from Q1. Despite the Iran war grinding on and bond markets under pressure from inflation fears, AI-fuelled stock markets drove ready-made portfolios to an average gain of 8.95% — putting the average fund up 16.9% over one year. Higher equity exposure was the key differentiator, with high risk funds averaging 13.3% whilst low risk portfolios, weighed down by weak bonds, managed just 4.7%.
What were the average returns by risk category?
The table below illustrates the average performance of ready-made solutions from the three risk categories - high, medium and low:
Risk Level | Q2 2026 AVERAGE NET GROWTH | 1 YEAR AVERAGE NET GROWTH | 3 YEAR AVERAGE NET GROWTH | 5 YEAR AVERAGE NET GROWTH |

Medium Risk | 8.9% | 17.0% | 38.0% | 34.4% |
