Join Senior Economist, Craig Swanger and Director of Education and Research, Liz Moran, as we share our views on global markets.

Smart Income investors heard from us throughout 2015 on a range of topics from equity markets, currency markets, commodities and of course interest rates. Our research team predicted challenging equity markets, a falling AUD, lower economic growth than markets expected, and that interest rates would stay lower for longer.

So what’s in store for 2016? Join us for this webinar to hear from our Senior Economist, Craig Swanger, as he shares his views on global markets, including:

• Australia’s outlook in terms of our economy and our markets
• China’s slowdown and the implications for world markets
• Japan’s extraordinary decision to set cash rates below zero, charging investors for deposits
• The EU’s slowing economy and the likelihood of decades of near zero growth
• The bright spots on the global horizon, namely the US, UK and India, and how best to access these markets
