3.1 THE CASE FOR EQUITIES - GROWTH<br />
We will now discuss the growth nature of equities.<br />
All Ordinaries<br />
The All Ordinaries Index, which is referred to frequently in the media, simply<br />
looks at the price movement of the share market.<br />
Below is a graph of the All Ordinaries Index from 1960 to 2015:<br />
This graph demonstrates how equities perform as a growth asset over a<br />
long time frame. Even taking into account extreme market occurrences - the<br />
OPEC Oil Crisis in 1973, the 1987 Share Market Crash, the Tech Wreck of<br />
2000 and the recent GFC of 2008 - over the long term the All Ordinaries has<br />
still exhibited phenomenal growth.<br />
