Decision Fatigue in Investing: How Too Much Choice Leads to Poor Returns

We’ve all been there. Standing in the supermarket aisle, trying to make sense of the vast number of products available to us in every single category.

The ETF Innovation Cycle: Why the Next Hot Fund May Warrant Caution

We all know the long list of benefits of investing in ETFs, but the passive fund boom has reached the stage where narratives can sometimes reign supreme. The risk is that the recent wave of ETF launches, particularly in thematic, single-stock, options-enhanced, and actively managed strategies, is partially shaped by investor demand for exposure to recent winners rather than enduring sources of return.

The Longer-Term Consequences of the US–Israel–Iran War

By now, most of us have realised that the US-Israel-Iran war will have longer-term consequences beyond recent volatility. It’s accelerating a structural shift in global markets defined by tighter energy supply, more persistent inflation, and the fragmentation of trade and capital flows.

Want an Extra 1.5% p.a. in Returns? Why Investor Psychology Destroys More Wealth Than Fees

These days, most investors are well-trained to minimise their fund and ETF costs. It’s been drilled into their minds that an apparently small fund fee difference can create an enormous performance drag over the long term.
