Economic Update
In the latest Economic Update, John Owen Portfolio Specialist at MLC, reviews events in Australian and Overseas markets during December 2015. Whilst markets where subdued during the last month of 2015, this has not been the case since the start of the new calendar year.
Why have markets been so weak?
John states in the article below that the year has started on a particularly bleak note with widespread share market falls recorded in the first week of trading. He notes that MLC have been assessing the potential for adverse developments in China and the implications for Australian investors. As a result they have been managing Portfolios in a defensive manner.
If you have any concerns about your investment strategy please contact us. I look forward to assisting you with your financial requirements in the year ahead.
