Shani Jayamanne is a Director, Investment Specialist at Morningstar Australia.
Shani’s Future Focus column is published every Wednesday. In this week’s edition, Shani explored different factors an investor might weigh up to assess how wealthy they are.
Shani’s Chart of the week showed how a volatile geopolitical environment has impacted listed Australian asset managers.
A global tax specialist provided Shani with some tax tips for expats and migrants to Australia.
Shani also looked at how you might prepare financially for parenthood, and highlighted three ASX shares with fully franked dividends that are undervalued according to our analysts.
Joseph Taylor is an Associate Investment Specialist, Morningstar Australia.
Joseph’s Ask the analyst feature puts questions from Morningstar readers (and a few from himself) to our equity analysts. This week we were treated to a double billing.
First, Joseph enlisted the help of Brian Han to answer a question on why we think Telstra has a moat and TPG doesn’t.
Then Joseph caught up with Mark Taylor to ask about what could be an untimely deal for Santos shareholders.
Inspired by a stock pitch he heard at Morningstar’s investment conference for advisers last month, Joseph also took a look at deep value investing. What is it, and could it be a promising approach for individuals? Learn more here.
Simonelle Mody is an Associate Investment Specialist, Morningstar Australia.
Sim’s Young & Invested column is published every Thursday. This week, Sim explored what she labels Australia’s “obsession” with ETFs. While the positives of ETFs - like the possibility of instant diversification and relatively low fees - are well known, are there drawbacks we should also be considering? See what Sim found here.
Staying with ETFs, Sim also asked whether thematic ETFs can work for investors. Is there substance behind the marketing? Or are investors better off avoiding them? Learn more here.
Mark LaMonica, CFA is Director of Personal Finance, Morningstar Australia.
Mark’s column Unconventional wisdom is published every Monday. This time, Mark asked whether Australia’s biggest source of wealth - housing - is also the anchor holding it down. Is it time for Australians to “just say no” to owning a house? See what Mark thinks in the latest edition of Unconventional Wisdom.
Mark also wrote about things professional investors do but you shouldn’t, and asked whether long-term investors should consider shunning bonds to only invest in shares.
