From table 2 the long term expected return for the Trust’s portfolio was 7.4% per annum and there was approximately a 68% probability that the return in any one year would be within the range of 1.2% to 13.6%.

As at 31 March 2008 the Trust’s Portfolio had NZ$131.5m under management. Assuming the long term return distribution approximates the short term return distribution, then for the year 31 March 2008 to 31 March 2009 there is approximately a 68% probability that the Trust’s revenue profit from investment activities will lie in the range of $1.7m to $17.9m, with an expected value of $9.7m.
