The latest national census reveals that Australia is a nation determined to change direction. Generational control is shifting, there is a greater sense of Indigenous identity, and core beliefs that once bound our nation tightly are loosening. China is being usurped by India as our primary source of immigrants, foreign students and overseas workers. There is even evidence of the return of the suburban home. Collectively, such trends will re-shape Australia's economic and cultural landscape and influence the way that practitioners build multi-asset portfolios capable of meeting the long-term financial goals of Australians. - Bernard Salt, Allegra Spender, and Tassos Stassopoulos.
