The Polish (mandatory) pension funds - OFEs - were down in 2011. Average one year performance (as of yesterday) was -3.72%.
Nevertheless, they are on average +192% up over their 13 year period of existence. And that translates into a quite nice +8,6% CAGR.
And - what's important - they have clearly beaten the stock market:

However, what's worrying is a very high correlation between all the funds:

The correlation rank between OFEs keeps between amazingly thin range of 99,51% and 99,97%:

Clearly, OFEs are not competitive. For extremely high correlation they are also a potential source of systemic risk.
