PSEi Performance in 2014

The 30-company Philippine Stock Exchange index (PSEi), which is the barometer of stock performance in the Philippines, increased in value by 22.76% in 2014. (See PSE one of Top 10 best stock markets worldwide) If you are a stock investor, this is where you should benchmark your portfolio’s performance.

If your portfolio had a one-year gain of at least 22.76% last year, then congrats, you have successfully outperformed the index! If, on the other hand, your gains were less than 22.76% (or worse, you’re in the red!), then you are underperforming the index.

The key in outperforming the index is to choose good stocks that would give you outstanding gains. Among the 30 PSEi stocks, which ones had the biggest gains in 2014? How about the biggest PSEi losers?
