| Welcome to this week's edition of Smart Investing. | |
| In this issue, we share our latest economic and market outlook, including region-by-region forecasts and what’s ahead for Australia. With inflation easing and the Reserve Bank of Australia adopting a cautiously dovish stance, we unpack what this could mean for interest rates and investors in the months ahead.
We also unpack the concept of investment procrastination — a common hurdle that can quietly erode long-term wealth. Whether it’s fear, uncertainty or the belief that you need a large sum to begin, we show why taking that first step matters most.
Finally, we share a reading list for investors, featuring four books that have shaped the thinking of Vanguard experts. From the power of indexing to understanding AI, these titles offer valuable lessons for all investors. | |
