Dear %%first_name%%,

There have been many predictions for the local market ranging from a 10% gain to 40%. I think we should at least beat 5,000. Today, I address underlying concerns about the stock market in 2013 and explain why stocks are a dead set goer.

Also in the newsletter, Gavin Madson explains how to earn higher returns for funds ‘trapped’ offshore by the strong Aussie dollar. James Dunn puts AGL and Origin head to head. Andrew Bloore completes his super system improvement wish list, and Ron Bewley puts the consumer staples sector under the microscope.

The next issue of The Switzer Super Report will be published on Tuesday 29 January due to the Australia Day long weekend. We wish you a safe and happy break.



Sincerely,

Peter Switzer

The ATO now requires trustees of self managed super funds to consider insurance for members as part of the fund’s investment strategy. Get all you need to know from Paul Rickard’s recent article on the topic.
