| Hi Aris, Welcome to this week's edition of Smart Investing. How much is your data potentially worth? New Vanguard research shows individuals could potentially boost their retirement income by as much as 50% by incorporating more personal and household information into their strategy. There are also significant retirement benefits associated with consolidating your super into one account during the accumulation phase. Around 4 million Australians currently have multiple super accounts – a decision that could prove very costly over time. Lastly, we explore how financial advice can reduce stress and save you time. Vanguard research shows that paid financial advice offers emotional benefits and significant time savings, allowing investors to manage the complexities of their financial lives by turning to trusted experts. | |
| Know someone with a retirement story to share? | | For the last two years, Vanguard Australia has produced the How Australia Retires Report, a study exploring Australians’ attitudes towards retirement and how they feel about this phase of life. We are looking for people who are willing to share their feelings and experiences, both the highs and the lows, on how they plan to retire. If you or someone you know would be open to sharing their story with the media, we'd love to hear from you. | | | |
