| Welcome to this week's edition of Smart Investing.
Our first article examines the vast difference between the total return from the Australian share market last year with those from the United States and other international markets. Having a strong Australian home bias was costly, but Senior Personal Finance Writer Tony Kaye explains that chasing last year's investment returns can be even more costly over the long term.
Our second article focuses on Vanguard's four principles for investing success. We believe that following these simple steps can help you focus on the things within your control when working towards achieving your long-term investment goals.
Lastly, listen to Vanguard's Balaji Gopal on the Dev Raja personal finance podcast as he discusses different aspects of the Vanguard Personal Investor platform and answers the most common questions received from investors.
