| Hi Aris, Welcome to this week's edition of Smart Investing. Many super funds are now announcing their member product performance returns from the 2023-24 financial year and, by and large, after a fairly good year on global investment markets, returns have been relatively strong. Yet, in our lead article this week, Vanguard's Senior Personal Finance Writer, Tony Kaye, says it's important for super fund members to compare apples with apples on performance and fees. The problem is, some super funds don't tell the full story. Read on to find out more. Meanwhile, in our second article, we take a deep dive into Australia's booming exchange traded funds industry, which reached a new milestone at the end of June as total assets under management exceeded $200 billion. We detail where the biggest inflows of investor capital have been going so far this year and why. Lastly, we speak to a Vanguard investor to find out more about her investing story, including why she started investing, what her first investment was, what her portfolio looks like now, and what advice would she would give to other investors. Watch our video interview. Do you have a good investor story to tell? We're especially keen to hear from Vanguard investors who are close to retirement, or already retired. If you're interested in being interviewed for our investor story video series, please send us an email to corpcommsaustralia@vanguard.com.
