Hi Aris, Welcome to this week's edition of Smart Investing. The Vanguard Australian Shares Index ETF (ASX: VAS) has cemented its position as Australia’s largest exchange-traded fund. Last month, it became the first Australian ETF to exceed $20 billion in funds under management, a milestone that highlights growing interest in low-cost, index-based investing in Australia. If you plan to make a voluntary contribution to your super this financial year, act quickly. Super funds generally have a deadline about one full business week before 30 June to ensure time for contributions to be processed. If you're a Vanguard Super member, the deadline for additional contributions this year is close of business on Monday 23 June. Finally, a common misconception is that investing requires a lot of time, expertise, and carries too much risk. However, these are just myths that can hold you back from reaching your financial goals. | |
