Helping investors traverse financial markets and build their wealth during the peaks and troughs is Janus Henderson Investors head of Australia Matt Gaden's game plan. He tells Karren Vergara why in this long game of investing, active management wins.
I am somewhat bemused by the statement that ....'ATO data shows that only SMSFs with more than $1 million outperformed the segment.....& etc....'. I couldn't imagine the data produced by the ATO would have anything with respect to timing in receipts of income , contributions, investments etc. and their relative deployments. The broad statement, to my mind is quite misleading.
Outperformed what.... Does the tax office provide info on fund makeup, investor profile etc?
