Hi Aris, Welcome to this week's edition of Smart Investing. Vanguard research shows a growing number of Australian parents are now making regular investments on behalf of their children. In our lead article this week, Vanguard's Senior Personal Finance Writer, Tony Kaye, looks into how thousands of parents, and in some cases grandparents, are investing based on data associated with the Vanguard Personal Investor Kids product offering. Separately, a common response from Vanguard customers we’ve interviewed is that they wish they had started investing at an earlier age. In our second article, we compare the returns of two hypothetical investors of the same age who started investing 10 years apart. The results, based on the actual returns from the Australian share market, are staggering. 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 she would give to other investors. Watch our video interview. | |
