Shani Jayamanne is a Director, Investment Specialist at Morningstar Australia.
Shani’s Future Focus column is published every Wednesday. This week, Shani took a look at Australia’s inactive National Financial Capability Strategy and the dire impacts that putting financial literacy on the backburner can have on Aussies. Read Shani’s open letter to the newly re-elected Government here.
In her Chart of the week, Shani explored data shared by Morningstar’s Amy Arnott on Bitcoin’s performance as a portfolio diversifier.
Shani also looked at the top stock holdings by Australia’s best performing super funds in recent years. You can see the stocks and our analysts’ views on them here.
Joseph Taylor is an Associate Investment Specialist, Morningstar Australia.
Joseph’s regular Bookworm column explores useful insights from investing and business writing. In the latest edition, Joseph looked at how the legendary investor and teacher Benjamin Graham distinguished between investors and speculators. On the way, Joseph stumbled upon a question that every stock market participant should probably ask themselves. Read it here.
In the latest edition of Ask the analyst, Joseph put a reader’s question about Santos to our energy analyst Mark Taylor. Why does Santos tend to trade in lockstep with the oil price, and does this suggest that the market is neglecting its LNG business? See Mark’s answer here.
If you have a question about any of the stocks or industries in our Australian coverage, please email it to joseph.taylor@morningstar.com. Select questions will be put to the analyst covering the stock and may be published in a future Ask the analyst article.
Joseph also recounted a chance meeting on the golf course that reminded him of the power of investing early. See how you could potentially set a child up for life with under $50 a week here.

Sim also highlighted two ASX technology stocks that our analysts think are undervalued.
Mark LaMonica, CFA is Director of Personal Finance, Morningstar Australia.
Mark’s column Unconventional wisdom is published every Monday. This time, Mark pondered the remarkable resilience of equity market returns over the past few years and whether they can continue. Do valuations matter anymore? Will we see another crushing bear market at some stage? And what if equity markets just keep going up? Read Mark’s thoughts in the latest edition of Unconventional wisdom.
Mark also called out four income investing mistakes, and shared his thoughts on why dividend ETFs may ultimately disappoint those seeking a growing stream of income.
