Stress-test your portfolio with Greek shock...
In The AFR I argue that the Greek crisis provides for the perfect opportunity to stress-test, or shock, your portfolio...With this in mind, I analyse the relative total return performance of a range of asset-classes during the exceptionally turbulent month of June, including housing, cash, government bonds, ASX hybrids, Aussie and global equities, fixed- and floating-rate debt, and hedge funds, among others.

The results are summarised in the chart below. Click on this link to read my full AFR article for free (VIEW LINK)
