A second negative month in a row in the provident funds. Forecast: 0.7% –

by time news

For the second month in a row, a negative return on provident funds and study funds, according to Tzvi Avi Berkowitz, Deputy Chief Investment Officer of Meitav Dash Provident and Pension Ltd. 0.3-1.2%.

According to a BizPortal survey, analyst Willin Lapidot is expected to lead following their holding in Tower, which will contribute a positive return of about 0.4%, while Altshuler, which does not own Tower, is expected to continue to disappoint in February due to its lack of holding in the company.

In February, price declines were recorded in all major investment channels: in the world stock markets, in corporate and government bonds in Israel, and these acted as a negative factor in the fund’s returns.

Is it worth stressing? Not really. The increase last year was much more significant – it is worth thinking about the long term
Just to mention that the declines in the last two months come after 2021 was a very successful year for savers: the success was of course due to the surge in world markets. The annual return was almost 3 times higher than in the average year and stood at 14.2% for the whole year in the general track. In the stock track the returns are of course even more impressive: 22.6% per annum. Pension funds: about 16%.
For comparison, the average annual return in 5 years is 5.2% and in a span of 10 years it stands at 4.9%, which means do not expect the provident funds to increase by 15% every year, but you should expect the multi-year average – it is also not recommended to make investment decisions Trust one month performance.
