BetaShares Using ETFs to generate efficient after-tax outcomes

June 24, 2015--At this time of the year many investors and their advisers are focused on ensuring they implement the most tax efficient strategies in order to take advantage of any benefits or deductions before the end of the financial year.

This post details an important but often underappreciated benefit that exchange traded funds (ETFs) can offer investors-tax efficiency.

IMF-Australia: Concluding Statement of the 2015 Article IV Mission

June 24, 2015--Re-Energizing Growth
Australians have enjoyed exceptionally strong income growth for the last couple of decades. But the waning of the resource investment boom and the recent sharp fall in the terms of trade have brought this to a halt. Incomes should start rising again as the terms of trade stabilize, but likely more slowly than in the past.

Improving this outlook requires policymakers being on the front foot to enable Australia to make the most of its considerable potential. This means supporting aggregate demand in the shorter term and boosting productivity in the longer term. And ensuring banks are unquestionably strong would reduce vulnerabilities. Such an ambitious reform agenda would require strong and sustained commitment.
