Australia is the largest funds management market in the Asia Pacific region and the fourth largest in the world. Australia has the highest amount of managed funds per capita in the world. Over nine million Australians have money invested in managed funds, including superannuation handled via managed funds and self-managed super funds. In the post-GFC financial climate, many people would prefer to pay someone else to manage their money than take a chance on the stock market themselves. Managed Funds For Dummies covers the pros and cons of investing in managed funds, how to find the best funds, how to establish a fund portfolio and how to evaluate fund returns. It also looks at investing in managed funds via your super or self-managed super fund.
