Hi everyone,
This will be our last edition of Smart Investing this year...and what a year it’s been for investors worldwide! We hope throughout all the uncertainty you have found Smart Investing to be a helpful companion on your investment journey.
To reflect on the year that’s been, we revisit the top three most read articles in 2021: an introduction to dividends and distributions, the difference between ETFs and managed funds, and our take on cryptocurrencies.
We also want to take this opportunity to thank those who have completed our Smart Investing reader survey. If you would like to provide your feedback on our weekly newsletter, you can still do so here.
We appreciate your readership this year and hope you all have a safe and happy holiday break.
Regards, | | 
Robin Bowerman
Head of Corporate Affairs
