What’s in store for you in 2019? An overview of the Australian and global economic environment

Keep calm and carry on. Everything is fine, really

In this presentation Brian Parker will discuss the outlook for both the Australian and global economies, particular in light of a highly uncertain geopolitical environment, where a grown-up politician is the rarest animal in the kingdom. He’ll also discuss what it all means for how our superannuation pool is managed – where the best opportunities exist, where the greatest dangers lurk.  And no, this will not be a typical economic update.  Brian doesn’t do those because they’re very boring.

Brian Parker joined Sunsuper in June 2015 as Chief Economist.  Prior to joining Sunsuper, Brian worked in a series of economics, asset allocation, and communications roles with a range of firms, including Rothschild, JP Morgan, Citigroup, MLC, and the Reserve Bank of Australia, in a career spanning over 25 years.
