Financial Insights & Updates - January 2024
Welcome to the first issue of Financial Insights and Updates of 2024!
We hope that the Christmas break allowed for all the rest and recuperation you needed and that 2024 has started well. Already we are nearing the end of January. How time flies.
This month we have included a 'Vanguard Economic and Market Outlook 2024' which is signaling a return to sound money. Sound money is the result when interest rates are above the rate of inflation, a development expected to persist in the years ahead. For well-diversified investors, the persistence of higher real interest rates provides a solid foundation for long-term risk-adjusted returns.
Other interesting articles include ‘How does gold stack up?’, which looks at gold as an investment option, and ‘Stability vs Freedom - The Evolution of Housing Choices’ which looks at the pros and cons of renting for life.
As always, feel free to forward any articles to friends and/or family that you feel may benefit from the information.
In signing off, please remember that we are always available to answer any questions or queries you may have and to come speak with us before making any major investment decisions.
Enjoy the long weekend!
Warm regards,
The Team at Nixon Financial Services Pty Ltd
