How to maximise your returns in 2024 and beyond
Roger Montgomery
February 6, 2024
I recently wrote about my two big forecasts for 2024. One was that private credit would gain traction as an important asset class and would also feature more prominently in advised portfolios, especially for those seeking uncorrelated returns, lower volatility, and regular attractive income.

David Buckland
January 30, 2024
In my recent interview with Ausbiz, I discussed the opportunity for private credit, with the Reserve Bank of Australia identifying that it is a $500 billion opportunity.

What! How much do you need for a comfortable retirement?
Roger Montgomery

New spending figures published by the Association of Superannuation Fund of Australia (ASFA) define what it means to be comfortable in retirement. And while their numbers are well above the current age pension payments, I am not sure even those elevated numbers realistically measure up to what many, if not most, people would describe as comfortable.
