Many investors believe commissions disappeared from Australian financial life after the Banking Royal Commissions and FOFA reforms. While they became more tightly constrained commissions still exist with some financial products. Shani does a deep dive on three places investors still pay commissions.
In investing, focusing on the things that don’t change is more valuable than spending all your time trying to predict an unpredictable future. Shani looks at three numbers that actually matter for long-term investors.

Mark LaMonica, CFA is Director of Personal Finance, Morningstar Australia.
Mark’s column Unconventional wisdom is published every Monday.
Investors often shy away from historically successful companies, especially when speculation about a market bubble is rampant. Mark shares his thoughts on whether investors are too worried about the best companies in history and if dismissing them might be a costly mistake.
There is almost universal disdain for academic theories of investing. But understanding the basis of these theories and the inherent contradictions can help clarify our own investing approach and how we deal with the inevitable challenges we face as investors. Mark looks at three lessons to incorporate into your investment approach.
