Since several Icelandic pension funds are still working on their annual results, the association said no final 2019 return figures were yet available.“However, it is clear that the overall performance was very good, in both home and overseas markets,” it said.Foreign equities were the strongest performing asset class, the group said, adding that domestic bonds had also yielded very good returns during the year.“The main driving forces there were falling real interest rates and a falling inflation premium, which contributed to rising bond value,” it said.Total Icelandic pension fund assets now stood at more than ISK4.9trn (€36bn), amounting to more than 160% of GDP, the association said.Earlier this month, Icelandic pension funds Frjálsi and Almenni announced they had produced high returns of 13.7% and 14.5%, respectively, in 2019 on the strongest performing investment options they offered to scheme members.Meanwhile, the country’s fourth largest pension fund, Birta, has reported its mixed portfolio option (Blönduð leið) – which contains a high proportion of foreign equities – ended 2019 with a 14.9% real return, after bounding back from a 1.2% loss in 2018. Iceland’s pension funds returned 11% on average last year, according to an early estimate from the country’s pensions industry group, making a strong comeback from the previous year’s slim profits.The Icelandic Pension Funds Association (Landssamtök lífeyrissjóða) said it estimated the real return on pension savings for Icelanders to be well over 11% on average for 2019, based on the weighted average return on the total portfolio of the funds.The association said: “This is a major turnaround from 2018 when the net real yield was 1.95% on average and much lower than 2017 when the comparable figure was 5.38%.”The lobby group sourced this returns data for the two previous years to the Icelandic FSA. It also noted that according to the regulator, in 2018 Iceland had been only one of five countries internationally to have shown positive annual pension returns. read more

Victory over Swansea, coupled with Tottenham’s defeat at Norwich, means there is a six-point gap – effectively seven with Liverpool’s vastly superior goal difference – between the fourth-placed Reds and their nearest rivals for a top-four spot. They remain four behind leaders Chelsea, but striker Daniel Sturridge’s rich vein of form, scoring in his last eight consecutive league games to take his tally to 18, and the enduring quality of Luis Suarez, who has netted 23 league goals, mean they are confident of outscoring most teams. “We just need now to keep calm and do what we have been doing, if we continue that we will get the same results,” Toure told City Talk 105.9. “There are going to be some tough games; Southampton (this Saturday) is a tough place to go but I think we can score goals and defend well as a team and we are working hard.” Goalkeeper Simon Mignolet also believes a sensible and composed approach will pay dividends as the season enters its final three months. “We are in a good position at the moment but with 11 games to go there are still a lot of things that can happen,” he told the Liverpool Echo. “We need to stay calm and just focus on our next game at Southampton. We won’t be thinking about what’s happened against them in the past (losing their last three visits). “The gaffer gives everyone confidence. When you step on to the pitch you know that he’s behind you and supporting you. “Everyone is trying to do their job the best they can and we need to keep doing that until the end of the season.” The Reds’ leaky backline is coming under increasing scrutiny after Sunday’s 4-3 home win against Swansea made it seven goals conceded in their last three matches. Liverpool have kept just two clean sheets in their last 11 games stretching back to mid-December but Toure, who has had his fair share of recent defensive calamities, believes they still have a grip on their situation. Press Association Centre-back Kolo Toure insists now is not the time to allow criticism of Liverpool’s defensive vulnerability affect their run-in. read more

Press Association Swansea have failed to score in their last three games, against Watford and Everton in the Barclays Premier League and at Hull in their midweek Capital One Cup defeat following a promising start in which they took eight points from their first four league matches. Bafetimbi Gomis (four) and Andre Ayew (three) are the only two Swansea players to have scored in the league this season but manager Monk remains confident that other players will soon be hitting the goal trail. Garry Monk insists goals will be shared around his Swansea side as they seek to end a barren scoring run at Southampton on Saturday. “I’m sure you’ll see a lot more scorers as the season goes on,” Monk said. “I think the same was said about Gylfi (Sigurdsson) and (Wilfried) Bony here last season but a team contributes to goals, not just one player. “You would love everyone to score but it doesn’t really matter as long as the team are scoring and we’re in a position to win games. “Of course, we work on things for other people to contribute but to be able to score a goal you need the team to play the right way. “You’ve got to get the ball in those positions for others to score and that’s very much a team contribution. “We’ve been doing that fantastically well this season and we’re only going to get better looking at the players in training.” Monk’s philosophical approach to Swansea going 294 minutes without scoring may be explained by statistics suggesting they have not had the rub of green in front of goal. Of Swansea’s 85 attempts on goal 35 have been on target, the highest percentage in the Premier League. They have also hit the woodwork four times, the most in the top flight. But Iceland international Sigurdsson, who finished third on the Premier League assists table last season with 10, has only one assist so far this term and has yet to open his goal account from seven games. “Gylfi hasn’t contributed those things as much as he would like but he’s still making a big contribution to the team,” Monk said. “His work ethic, his discipline with and without the ball and his link-up play are very good and he’s not in the team to score goals. “If he can do that great, but the real product of his game is getting in positions to assist. “I’ve spoken to him about that but the team is attacking with more variation this season. “Last season, especially early on, we attacked more through Gylfi and Bony. But we’ve spread it out a little bit more this year as we have more quality through the squad and more ways to attack.” read more

The long-serving Blues centre-half was a pivotal presence in the Blues’ title triumph last season, playing every minute, but has been part of a backline that has looked fragile this term. He was memorably taken off at half-time in the defeat to Manchester City after a poor 45 minutes trying to contain Sergio Aguero, leading some to assume he has lost some of the edge that made him one of the league’s best defenders. But in an interview with the Daily Mail, the 34-year-old said of his detractors: “That’s lazy, isn’t it? You get to a stage and people say ‘that’s wrong’ but they don’t back it up. “You know your legs aren’t gone. It takes a little bit longer to recover but when you’re ready and the adrenaline pumps in, you are fine. I’ve never been quick.” On being substituted at the Etihad Stadium in August, Terry added: ” Listen, you take it in your stride. I was more shocked than anything. But I took it and went out to watch the second half. I’ve got that mentality where you go in the next day, work your socks off and think to yourself ‘right, I’ll show you’. “There is no point moaning, sulking or staying in the dressing room. That’s not me. I’ve got to where I am in my career by fronting things up. So I did and I knew, sooner or later, he’d (Mourinho) put me back in.” Terry retained his place in the starting line-up the following week against West Brom only to be sent off, and his form remains patchy. His struggles have coincided with Chelsea’s dreadful start to the defence of their title, with the Blues currently 14th, 14 points adrift of leaders City. Terry, though, still has plenty of faith in Mourinho, who for now still has the backing of the club’s board. Terry added: “His stability is massive for the club going forward. What the club have done is set a precedent and said ‘he’s the man to take us forward’. He will do. This squad of players won the league last season. There is no difference. It’s a bad run of form. “It’s not different. The league table says it’s different but it isn’t. If you look for stuff (that is wrong) you will find it. You could sit there after a game and find a million things. I’d prefer to say ‘s*** result, let’s just move on’. The quality is there, everything is there.” Chelsea captain John Terry thinks his critics are “lazy” to assume he lacks the pace to remain a top-class defender in the Barclays Premier League.
