Flattening the curve
In Australia we currently appear to have been very lucky to have ‘flattened the curve’ to such an extent that the impact of Covid-19 on the nation’s health, mortality and hospital system has been something other countries could only have dreamed of. The impact on the economy has been far deeper – the Australian Financial Review has an excellent on-going tracker assessing many metrics on the economic recovery for Australia.
Diversification in COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has shown that anything can happen and disrupt solid dividends. The Financial Times Adviser interviews experts, telling just how vital it is to have a diverse range of income assets rather than relying on a limited number. There are a wide-variety of assets which can deliver long-term yield. Bigstone provides consistent returns through approved commercial lending, with opportunities to diversify your Bigstone portfolio across loans.

The rebounding share market as strong indicator of economic recovery and investor confidence. The Sydney Morning Herald reports, that as a clearer path shows itself out of the pandemic, the economic future of Australia looks brighter. Even with a potential second wave ahead, there seems to be less uncertainty and fear in investors, leading to increasing confidence and market upswings to come.
