The Sunday Times Top 100 companies list reveals which South Africa companies have delivered the best return for investors over the past five years.<\/p>\n

The Top 100 Companies awards acknowledge those listed companies which have earned the most for their shareholders.<\/p>\n

The share-price performance of every company listed on the JSE is calculated on the basis of R10 000 invested over five years \u2014 from October 1 2010 to the end of September 2015.<\/p>\n

The winner is the company that earns the most for its shareholders in terms of share-price growth, after taking into account normal and special dividends and bonus shares reinvested.<\/p>\n

For 2015, Fortress Income Fund took top honours, delivering a 72.7% average annual compund return to shareholders.<\/p>\n

Trustco Group Holdings, with an average return of 70.4%, took second place, followed by listed ICT group, EOH Holdings, with 69.38%.<\/p>\n

Fortress Income was the JSE’s top performing stock in 2014. It is a hybrid fund, which offers investors exposure to other local and offshore listed property groups, as well as its own property portfolio.<\/p>\n

Its own properties typically cover retail centres in lower-income and rural areas.<\/p>\n

Trustco, another top performer on the JSE in 2014, is a Namibian small-cap investment group, which is diversified in banking, insurance, property and other investment channels in Namibia, South Africa and Brazil.<\/p>\n

The group is listed in South Africa, Namibia and plays in the Nasdaq’s over the counter market.<\/p>\n
