Brexit (of course!), retirement resources - and earn
CE hours
Fodder features four unique views on Brexit. First,
Dr Oliver Hartwich shares his ex-insider's
perspective (he worked with the London think tank
associated with PM David Cameron and his possible
successor, Michael Gove). Then BCA Research's Marko
Papic analyses Brexit's geo-political ramifications
and investment implications. We also re-highlight
Professor Niall Ferguson's history lesson - watch
out for Breturn! Our last Brexit piece looks
at why it was a flawed referendum, and what needs to be
done to improve a (likely) second one.
Lastly, on a totally different note, we feature Dr
Joanne Earl's top 10 rated Workshop from Symposium
2016 on the six dimensions of retirement resources
(only one being financial) and what's needed for
retirees to adjust well to leaving full time work.
"Attend" online and earn 1.0 CE hours.
All the best for a great weekend's continuing
education - Graham
P.S.
CE accreditation for Symposium 2016 delegates is on
MyCE. If you didn't attend the live
program, or missed some sessions,
"attend" via the online Resources Kit
and earn up to 12.75 CE hours.

Inside Brexit
I previously worked with the London think tank
closely linked to David Cameron and his Tory
modernisers. It was fascinating for me to watch
Brexit from afar. Here's my take on what we've just
witnessed.

The coming EXITentialist crisis
The Brexit referendum is a major break in the 70
years of European integration. What's next for the
UK? Who is next to exit? What does this mean for
broader global stability? And - most importantly -
what are investment implications?

Brexit now and we will only have to Breturn
The lesson of history is that British isolationism
is a trigger for continental disintegration. A vote
for Brexit will mean Britain will only have to "Breturn"
sooner or later, to sort out the ensuing mess.

Reforming the Referendum
The lesson from Brexit is clear - put questions to a
popular vote only when there can be no
misunderstanding about how much (or how little) is
at stake. The Brexit referendum failed that test.

How to identify retirement resources that matter
It's a sad fact that not everyone adjusts well to
retirement. It's estimated that about one third of
retirees have problems adapting after leaving full
time work. So why do some people fail to adapt? A
Dynamic Resource Model provides a potential
solution.

Forward estimate versus static allocation
Michael, in past articles, you discuss the benefits
of adjusting asset allocation based on forward asset
class estimates of expected returns. How would this
possibly (if it is possible) work with this more
static allocation but dynamic re-balancing?

Europe still matters
Yes, Europe still matters. It is a shrinking part of
the world in relative terms, but it is still highly
developed, rich, and home to some of the biggest
companies on the planet..

Finding the optimal rebalancing frequency
How often should a portfolio be rebalanced? Rather
than the conventional wisdom of rebalancing at fixed
time intervals, a superior methodology is tolerance
band rebalancing.

How to psychologically prepare clients for bear
markets
The next bear market will come - and none of us can
predict the hour or day. Preparing clients for
bearish times may be more important than portfolio
design. But how?

The Australian equities X factor
Everybody is an Australian equities expert,
understandably so for those who live in Australia.
But the X factor in Australian equities portfolios
is concentration risk.

Right now inflation is the most important macro
indicator
Central bankers successfully tamed inflation in the
late 1980s and early 1990s. Persistently low
inflation is the new problem. With markets
complacent about the inflation outlook, signs of
inflation could create a scare.

Long-term investment returns
Hi Dom -
Thanks for a thought provoking article. We live in
interesting times and it is rewarding to work with
investors during such times. I believe that
(extremely) low returns on safe assets is fine...

Geo-politics - Growth of Democracy
This is an optimistic assessment of the world:
people use the Internet to become better informed
and so there is a spread of democracy. Maybe.
