| Welcome to this week's edition of Smart Investing. | |
| Last week, we launched Vanguard’s How Australia Retires 2025 report, a major research initiative that sheds light on how Australians prepare for and experience retirement. Based on a nationally representative survey of 1,800 adults, the report reveals striking gaps between working and retired Australians.
In our first article, we unpack five key actions identified in the research that can more than double retirement confidence. To see where you stand, take our SmartRetire quiz to discover how these five building blocks can help you approach retirement with greater confidence.
In our second article, we share our latest economic and market outlook, including region-by-region forecasts and what’s ahead for Australia. With signs of recovery in Australia’s private sector and a pickup in consumer spending, our economists explore what’s driving growth and what to expect from monetary policy in the months ahead.
Finally, we take a closer look at financial literacy, a critical issue raised in the How Australia Retires 2025 research. Many Australians still struggle with basic financial concepts like interest, inflation and diversification. We share the “Big Three” questions used to assess financial knowledge and invite you to test your own understanding. | |
