- Share markets concluding the year on a subdued note, with most recording negative returns in December
- How monetary policy remained an important influence on markets, particularly the uncertainty over the timing of a rate rise in the US
- Why, from an Australian perspective, developments in China remain of greatest importance, and
- How MLC’s multi-asset portfolios are positioned.
