UBS Asset Management's Tim Van Klaveren learned early in his career the value of formulating his own opinions and not following the crowd, Andrew McKean writes.
Everything that successive governments have introduced to "assist" obtaining ownership of homes has been demand side driven. Nothing has ever been done to improve the supply side, in particular developers need to build roads and install utility reticulation which raises the price of producing ready to build lots in new suburbs. Stop supporting buyers and start supporting suppliers is the the answer, but this does not win elections. Politicised policy is always short term, benefit before next election, no sensible long term planning.
