Hi Aris, Welcome to this week's edition of Smart Investing. The new financial year has started and now is often an opportune time to review your asset allocations. It's definitely worth checking whether your portfolio drifted off course over the 2023-24 financial year. In our lead article this week, Vanguard's Senior Personal Finance Writer, Tony Kaye explains how you can track your portfolio drift and points to some different ways you can rebalance your investment holdings if you choose to do so. But, he also notes that another approach is just to leave the rebalancing task to the investing experts. Read on to find out more. Our second article reviews the federal government's Stage 3 tax cuts that came into effect on 1 July. While it's not an option for everyone, those with the financial capacity to invest their extra income could consider deploying some or all of their tax savings as part of a long-term dollar-cost averaging strategy. We explain how. Meanwhile, in our third article, we detail the range of superannuation changes that also came into effect on 1 July. They include higher annual concessional and non-concessional contribution limits. The changes will help millions of Australians to boost their super balance. | |
