LIVE Today at 12:30: Dispelling the Myth of an Ageing Population with Cameron Murray

In this week’s podcast, Nucleus Wealth’s Chief Investment Officer, Damien Klassen, is joined by Cameron Murray of Fresh Economic Thinking to challenge one of the biggest assumptions about Australia’s ageing population — that more retirees inevitably mean fewer workers supporting more dependants.

Volatility isn't always obvious from the headline numbers, and some investments can carry risks that only become visible when markets turn. Understanding what's underneath your portfolio can be just as important as looking at its returns.
