Equities return high yield over 20 years

EQUITIES have hammered houses as an investment class over the last 20 years a study by Davy Stockbrokers has found.

The study found that while housing has performed well against shares since 1998, shares have fared significantly better over 20 years.

The study: 'Twenty years of growing: property investment versus equities' by Davy Stockbrokers' head of research Robbie Kelleher concludes that even if people get their timing wrong in equities investment they can still make a good return.
