Costello warns of challenging times ahead

The Future Fund chair Peter Costello has warned of challenging times ahead for investors as interest rates rise around the world, including in Australia.

Releasing a portfolio update, Mr Costello said the Future Fund stood at a record $204 billion at the end of 2021, after posting a return of 19.1 per cent for the year and substantially above a target of 7.5 per cent.

The fund - set up in 2006 to cover future superannuation liabilities of public servants - showed a 10-year return of 10.8 per cent.
