According to the report, the US Nasdaq 100 equity index ranked second with an annualised return of 20 per cent, followed by the US Large Caps Index, which tracks stocks of US companies with a market capitalisation of Crypto Method more than $10 billion. This has an average annual performance of 14 percent. The US Small Cap Index was the only other asset class to deliver a double-digit annualised return over the past ten years, at 12.9 per cent.

The data also shows that gold has delivered a relatively low annualised return of 1.5 per cent since 2011
