This included a personal story about Shani’s Sri Lankan heritage, where gold is traditionally used as a store and emergency source of wealth. Read it here.

Mark LaMonica, CFA is Director of Personal Finance, Morningstar Australia.
Personal finance advice often isn’t very personal at all, especially that of the catch-all variety.
In this week’s edition of Unconventional wisdom, which is published every Monday, Mark weighed up a high-profile claim that all of the financial advice you ever need to hear could fit on an index card. Read Mark’s thoughts here.
For many investors, funding a more comfortable retirement ranks as a prominent financial goal. Mark also looked at the returns you might need to achieve this.
