Hi Aris, Welcome to this week's edition of Smart Investing. More Australians are investing in index funds (exchange traded funds and managed funds) than ever before, and new data released by S&P Dow Jones Indices underscores why that's happening. In our lead article this week, Senior Personal Finance Writer Tony Kaye digs through the latest SPIVA Australia Scorecard to highlight the benefits of using index funds as the core of an investment portfolio. Meanwhile, a new ETF products labelling and naming regime is about to be rolled out in Australia to better inform and protect investors. Vanguard has been advocating for these changes for several years. Read our second article to find out what the impending changes are, and how they will impact investors. Lastly, with new ETF products that invest in current or potential trends being launched on a regular basis, our third article is a reminder of the importance of having a long-term investing perspective. | |
