As we move swiftly into the second half of 2022, it's a fitting time to not only reflect on how markets have performed in the year to date, but also take a look at what's to come.
In this week's Smart Investing, we provide a midyear update to our 2022 economic and market outlook and analyse why the pace of change in inflation, growth, and monetary policy has failed to live up to expectations. On this, Vanguard's Senior Economist, Alexis Gray, also discusses what investors should focus on when market conditions seem unfavourable, while Senior Personal Finance Writer, Tony Kaye, gives an overview of how ETFs have performed over the last quarter.

Vanguard Australia | | | | | Stay invested despite current market conditions | | With markets falling and inflation ramping up, investors might feel they need to 'do something' to avoid further losses. However, when it comes to investing, taking action in response to market turmoil may derail a sound investment strategy. | | Read article | | | | | | | Investor inflows into ETFs remain strong | | ETFs are continuing to make their mark on the Australian investing landscape, irrespective of short-term market volatility. | | Read article | | | | | | | Vanguard's midyear market and economic update | | A lot has changed since Vanguard published its economic and market outlook for 2022, Striking a Better Balance. At the start of the year, we expected global economies to continue to recover from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic but at a more modest pace than in 2021. While that holds true, the pace of change in macroeconomic fundamentals has failed to live up to expectations. | | Read article | | | | | | | View your wealth in widescreen | | Despite the pullback in share market values, investors are likely still better off than they think. Here's why it's important to "zoom out" of day-to-day volatility and view your wealth in widescreen to get the full picture. | | Read article | | | | | | | Putting recent returns into perspective | | While 2021-2022 may not have been a stellar year for the majority of investors, it's worth remembering that the worst performing asset class one year can be the best the next, and vice versa. That's why successful investing benefits from having a good balance. | | Read article | | | | Vanguard and its employees wish to acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia where we operate our business.
