The Global Financial Crisis 10 years on - lessons learned and can it happen again?

31 August 2017

Elizabeth Timmins, an Advisor of Boyce Financial Services in our Cooma office recently uploaded the following article from Dr Shane Oliver, Head of Investment Strategy and Chief Economist, AMP Capital. 

It seems momentous things happen in years ending in seven. Well, at least in the last 50 years starting with the “summer of love” in 1967 and the introduction of the Chevrolet Camaro. But after that, it was downhill with Elvis leaving the building in 1977, the 1987 share market crash, the Asian crisis of 1997 and the GFC that started in 2007. While Lehman Brothers didn’t go bankrupt until September 2008, the GFC’s initial tremors occurred in 2007. Financial markets really started to take notice in August of that year, with shares taking a big hit before rebounding to new highs for US and Australian shares in October/November 2007 ahead of a roughly 55% decline into March 2009. This note looks at the main lessons for investors from the GFC and whether it can happen again.

But at its core, the basic principles of successful investing are simple. And one way to demonstrate that is in charts or pictures – after all, a picture tells a thousand words.

The Australian housing market - what are the key issues

The Australian housing market - what are the key issues

31 March 2017

Phil Alchin, Director at Boyce Financial Services in our Moree office recently uploaded the following article from Dr Shane Oliver, Head of Investment Strategy and Chief Economist, AMP Capital.

The cooling in the Sydney and Melbourne property markets evident in late 2015 in response to macro prudential tightening deployed by APRA has proved ephemeral. Price gains have reaccelerated and auction clearance rates & lending to property investors have rebounded. Over the last five years Sydney dwelling prices have risen a ridiculous 73% and Melbourne prices are up 47%. As a result the Australian housing market continues to cause much angst around poor affordability and high household debt. This note looks at the main issues.

Where are we in the global investment cycle? What does this mean for investors?

15 February 2017

Jono Forrest, Director of Boyce Financial Services in our Cooma office recently uploaded the following article from Dr Shane Oliver, Head of Investment Strategy and Chief Economist, AMP Capital.
