PAUL’S VERDICT
As much as I like numbers, facts and statistics, Kiara, one of the most misused is “average”. At present, the average Australian family has, I am told, around 2.3 children and 11% of a golden retriever!
My industry loves “average returns”, even though these can be highly deceptive. An advertisement describing 12% average annual returns over 15 years sounds impressive, but it would have served investors better
