Advice Evolution & Fintegrity Monthly News Update

Welcome to this month's update from Advice Evolution and Fintegrity, where we share the latest insights and developments to keep you informed in today’s evolving landscape.

Market volatility: why time in the market matters more than timing the market

Market volatility is an inherent part of investing. Prices fluctuate due to economic changes, geopolitical events, and investor sentiment. 

While the unpredictability of the market can cause anxiety, it’s essential to understand that volatility is a natural component of long-term wealth creation. Instead of fearing it, savvy investors embrace it with a calm, disciplined approach, focusing on the principle that time in the market is far more critical than attempting to time the market.

Understanding estate planning and key legal tools: why legal advice is essential

Estate planning is the process of organising and managing your assets during your lifetime and determining how they will be distributed after your death. 

It goes beyond simply writing a will; it involves making key decisions about property ownership, financial management, and medical care in the event of incapacity. 

Aussie-made tax breaks urged to combat forced labour

The rapid shift to renewable energy should not depend on forced labour to dig up and process critical minerals to make batteries, solar panels and wind turbines, an anti-slavery expert says.

Fiona David, creator of the Walk Free Global Slavery Index, is calling for a “bi-partisan approach” on proposed tax breaks to boost Australian-made products as another salvo against human trafficking and modern slavery.

Solar boost could mean good news for renters, regions

Low-income households, renters, and people in regional and rural areas could be among those who benefit most from greater investments in solar energy projects.

Environment and community groups issued their assessments on Tuesday after Energy Minister Chris Bowen revealed he had directed the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) to accelerate solar electrification projects.

Bid for better education standards to fix skills crisis

Australia must set new education targets aimed at returning to the 10 top rankings among developed countries for key subjects, or else risk a chronic skills shortage, a peak business group says.

It calls for a lift in standards to reverse the decline in students’ performance and for a careers counsellor to be placed in every school to help meet future demand.
