Five charts on investing for rough times like these

While we haven’t seen a pandemic-driven bear market before, the basic principles of investing have not changed. This note revisits five charts that are particularly useful in times of stress.

Why sustainability matters in real estate

As Australia’s largest employer of 1.4 million people, and Australia’s biggest industry, the real estate industry has a tremendous opportunity to lead the way on addressing key ESG issues and support a sustainable future.

Five charts to watch on the global economy and markets

Shane Oliver looks at five charts worth keeping an eye on regarding the global investment outlook for this year.

Women, parental leave and financial stress

While no group or demographic is immune from financial stress, Australian working women are continuing to feel the pressure, with one in five identifying as financially stressed.

Investment returns have been good, but are likely to slow

The past 10 years have seen pretty good returns for well-diversified investors. But, while it sounds like a broken record, the decline in yields points to eventually more constrained returns ahead.

The growing role of ESG in infrastructure

ESG factors are central to the sustainability of an asset, and are especially critical for assets owned by global listed infrastructure companies given their fixed nature, lengthy lives, and centrality to economic growth and the smooth running of society.

Latest Updates

Back to the future - Why indexing CGT is a good idea

A return to indexation of capital gains would be a fairer way to compensate households for the effects of inflation than the current discount. Importantly, it opens the door to future, broader reforms to stop the taxation of inflation.

Australia has no death duties. Technically.

Australia may not levy formal death duties, but a growing web of tax measures is quietly shaping what wealth passes between generations. Now, the 2026 budget adds another layer.

Strategy

The folly of the Iran war

From oil shocks to fractured alliances, the Iran war carries the hallmarks of a historic policy misstep - one that could tip an already fragile global economy into crisis.

Taxation

Noel Whittaker’s take on the budget

Marketed as a fix for inequality and housing affordability, the latest budget instead delivers a tangle of tax changes that leave everyday Australians worse off.

Investment strategies

The red metal's long game

Copper has had a rough few weeks but investors should not ignore the potential for future price increases as supply increasingly falls behind demand.

Taxation

The lesser-known effects of changed property taxes

The budget’s property tax reforms are being framed as fairness measures, but they risk splitting the housing market, penalising lower‑income investors and introducing distortions that may prove costly.

Why stocks sometimes fall for no obvious reason

The vast and opaque world of private assets is a powerful gravitational force - and when trouble hits, it's the more liquid public equities that often the feel it first.
