| Hi Aris, Welcome to this week's edition of Smart Investing. Many Australian companies are starting to pay dividends to their shareholders after the latest earnings season, including to exchange traded funds (ETFs) that invest in them. These will be passed through to ETF unitholders. In our lead article this week Senior Personal Finance Writer Tony Kaye shows the compounding benefits of reinvesting distributions using the returns from the Vanguard Australian Shares Index ETF (VAS) over the last decade as a case study. Meanwhile, the Australian Tax Office has become concerned over the rise in self-managed super funds (SMSFs) accessing their super illegally. Doing so can result in hefty penalties. Our second article looks into the areas where the ATO is focusing. Lastly, our global economics team provides its latest forecasts for interest rates, inflation, employment and financial markets in Australia, the United States, China, the Euro area, the United Kingdom, emerging markets, and Canada.
