Pioneer Investments simulations, Data as of 30 December Market returns are obtained by the aggregation of the projected contributions to total returns from earnings growth, valuation re-rating and dividends (share buy backs are considered where meaningful), considering inflation effect. Earnings growth is calculated as the combination of sales growth and margin changes, valuations changes imposes a long run mean reversion on long term CAPE, while dividends are calculated on constant pay-out ratios. Government returns are obtained by the aggregation of the projected contributions of inflation and of mean and trend reversion assumptions.
