| Hi Aris, Welcome to this week's edition of Smart Investing. Even before the Reserve Bank announced its interest rate cut last month, dozens of financial institutions had already begun cutting their savings account and term deposit rates. Savings rates are continuing to trend down, which is a clear signal for investors with large cash holdings. Our lead article, How much cash is too much?, explains that while cash can provide a sense of security because of its low volatility, holding too much can come at the cost of long-term underperformance and failure to achieve long-term financial goals. Meanwhile, the general lack of engagement with superannuation by many younger Australians continues to pose long-term financial risks. Our second article, Three ways to check your super is working for you, provides some simple steps anyone with superannuation can take to improve their retirement savings outcomes. Lastly, in AI’s impact on productivity and the workforce, Vanguard's Global Chief Economist and Head of Investment Strategy Group, Joe Davis, examines how artificial intelligence will impact jobs and workforce productivity. He believes the productivity gains from AI could produce the fastest economic growth in a generation. | |
