| Welcome to this week's edition of Smart Investing.
Our lead article outlines Vanguard's economic and market outlook for 2024. After multiple interest rate rises this year it's evident the job of returning inflation back to target isn't quite finished.
This update includes our Australian and international forecasts for GDP growth, unemployment, core inflation, interest rates and investment returns.
Our second article this week examines gold as an investment asset over time, and compares the returns from the precious metal against the performances of Australian, U.S. and international shares. The longer-term results may surprise you.
Lastly, as the end of this year fast approaches, we look at when investors should consider rebalancing their investment portfolios to get them back on track, and some simple steps to make it happen. | |
