Capital Protection Special
As 2008 draws to a close, many investors are looking forward to a new year and a new start.

Some view the current state of the markets as an opportunity whilst others feel bewildered as to what to do.

This issue looks into the opportunity of Listed Property and whether A-REITs have become attractive and whether Capital Protected Products can offer some benefit to investors when investments seem cheap.

We also consider the psychology of investing and how we can try to avoid buying high and selling low.
