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.
So the Federal Government is offering a 'Once Off' 15% for states to sell assets, surely this is ridiculous! Anything worth selling is most probably making a healthy return, maybe as much as 15% in some cases, but even a 7.50%pa return means the state has given up the Assets Income for a 'brought forward' 7.50% bonus.
This is short term thinking, kicking the can down the road attitude again?
I guess one benefit is the state does receive a once off larger lump sum to use for new projects, but simile they could just borrow the money and build a new project and pay for it with the income from other assets as any Corporate would do.
