| This week's Smart Investing is focused on the topic of portfolio construction and the different approaches investors can take to build a portfolio most suited to their goals. This includes using diversified funds aligned to risk profiles as a solution to portfolio construction or going a step further to adopt a core-satellite strategy, whereby investors can benefit from the best aspects of both index and active funds. We also take a look at the portfolios of SMSF investors and where some fall short of the broad diversification that makes for more successful long-term investing. Regards, | |
