Shane Oliver joins Simplifying Super podcast to share his top five investment mantras
AMP Capital’s Head of Investment Strategy and Economics, and Chief Economist, Dr Shane Oliver shares his top five investment mantras in the latest episode of AMP’s Simplifying Super* podcast.
At the top of the list is make the most of the power of compound interest, which Dr Oliver says can lead to exponential growth in returns over time.
“The way to make the most of compound interest is to invest in assets that over a long period of time grow with the economy and provide higher rates of return… if you’d put $1 in the Australian share market in 1900 and reinvested your earnings on that investment, it would have grown to over $600,000 today, with an average return of about 11.5 per cent.”
