Dear %%first_name%%,
The good news is that we’re all living longer. The bad news is that we’re all living longer and will need more money to live on in retirement. It looks like we might have to get a little bit more risky than we once thought when it comes to our investments.
Also on that asset allocation theme, in today’s Switzer Super Report, Barrie Dunstan compares the typical allocation of an SMSF to what the big super guns are doing, and examines whether or not there is anything we could learn from them.
Greg Fraser, head of research at Kimber Capital, looks at Fortescue Metals, and explains the good news story going on there, Tony Negline looks at the new system for excess super contributions. Auction clearance rates highlight the slow month that is July and the broker report finds that Boart Longyear and Whitehaven Coal both got downgrades.
I also hope you enjoyed our inaugural Saturday morning report. I’d love to hear your feedback subscriber@switzer.com.au
Sincerely,
Peter Switzer
