Nine Yards, a South African business and thought-leadership platform, featured an article by George Tsinonis, Head of Investment Analytics, examining why headline index returns can provide an incomplete picture of African equity markets.
He explains that benchmark outcomes can be shaped by factors such as currency accessibility, liquidity and market access, which influence the returns investors can realistically achieve. The article explores how the RisCura Africa RealView Index incorporates these practical market conditions to provide a more representative view of African equity performance.
For institutional investors and asset owners, this can provide a more realistic basis for assessing performance and understanding how benchmark choice affects the picture they see.
