All Ords jumps 10.3% during FY17
Most stock market investors had reason to smile during the 2016-17 financial year, with the Australian market making double-digit gains.
The All Ordinaries ended June at 5855.90, for a gain of 10.3 per cent over the 12 months. That was significantly higher than the inflation rate, which is currently at 2.1 per cent.
The historical record, though, is mixed. The market has increased 41.6 per cent over the past five years but has lost 7.2 per cent over the past 10 years.
