CENTURIA CAPITAL LIMITED
A single decision can change your life, and that's exactly what Centuria Capital joint chief executive Jason Huljich learned when he came to Australia in the 1990s. Eliza Bavin writes.
Australian financial stupidity is encouraged by the never ending focus on fees and planner remuneration. ASIC is a guilty party in this as a review of their website is more focussed on fees rather than the signicantly improved outcomes that can be achieved from good advice. The idea promoted in Australia is that this is a Do It Yourself field. No wonder so many people crash and end up heavily dependent on welfare.
