The Ultimate Investing Guide for 2026

Every year brings market surprises, but 2025 was a masterclass in how fast sentiment can turn and why investors need to stay vigilant.

For much of the year, almost everything worked. All asset classes rallied. Then pockets of the market ran out of steam - from Bitcoin to Broadcom, Oracle and DroneShield - a reminder that hot trades can cool quickly.

It was also the year Warren Buffett announced his retirement, closing one of investing’s greatest chapters. His parting advice felt timely: “Don’t beat yourself up over past mistakes - learn at least a little from them and move on. It is never too late to improve. Get the right heroes and copy them.”

No doubt a few of us felt we could have done better.

Throughout The Ultimate Investing Guide for 2026, some of Australia’s greatest investing minds unpack what mattered. You’ll hear from specialists across equities, fixed income, real assets, alternatives and commodities. More importantly, you’ll get something investors rarely receive in one place: perspective.

Thank you to the managers who contributed. Hopefully, you’ll find a few heroes in this ebook worth copying in 2026.
