Quick Summary:

The heady days of 20-plus per cent portfolio IRRs are gone for good.

That is far below the 25 per cent the industry used to aim for, and even below a rough benchmark for the cost of equity.

Investors — increasingly desperate to see some cash back — are themselves more focused on DPIs, correctly given that cash in hand is worth more than an unrealised IRR in the bush.
