| Welcome to the first edition of Smart Investing for 2024.
We hope that you're well rested, and ready for the year ahead. With financial markets rallying towards the end of last year, what's in store for investors this year and beyond?
Read our lead article this week covering Vanguard's economic and market outlook for 2024, which predicts a return to "sound money" as inflation rates gradually fall below interest rates.
In our second article we examine why financial markets, investors and borrowers are firmly focused on what will happen to official interest rates this year. We also include our longer-range returns forecasts for equities and fixed income.
Lastly, with assets under management across Australia's exchange traded funds (ETFs) sector growing by more than $42 billion in 2023, we look at the key factors driving that growth and our expectations for the year ahead.
Happy reading, and have a great investing year.
