THE ITALIAN STOCK IN THE LAST DECADE
One hundred euros invested in the Italian Stock Exchange become 81, but for STAR securities a good 292. In the period of analysis, the most profitable investment in the Stock Exchange related to Star companies whose total return (dividends included) was equal to an average of 10,5% annual; 100 euros invested at the end of 2007 thus became 292 in 2018. Breaking down the companies according to size, the 70 mid-cap companies prevail (from 31st to 100th by market value) with an average annual total return of 4 %, which translates into a final 153 euros (just over half of the Stars), with the Top 30 at -2,7% (74 euros from the 100 at the beginning of the period).
As for the sectors, the most profitable is investment in industrial securities with an average annual return of 2,5% for a final €130, a far better outcome than insurance companies (-3,1%, the €100 invested decreases to 72) and even more to bank ones (-11,3%, the final 28 euro is equivalent to a reduction of more than 70% of the amount of a decade earlier). The result achieved by securities once listed on the Nuovo Mercato is not negligible: 1,6%, for a final amount of 118 euros. Top performing sectors since 2007 for total return returns.
