Hi everyone,
In this week’s Smart Investing, we discuss the positive impact that regular investing and cost minimisation has on long-term wealth as we launch a new automated investment feature for managed funds on our Personal Investor platform.
Senior Personal Finance Writer, Tony Kaye, also analyses the rise in average life expectancies in Australia and how this increase in longevity may affect retirement savings.
Lastly, we take a look at the FIRE movement and explain the different approaches investors take to achieve early retirement.
Regards, | |
