Investing Times - 2015Who We Are

The credibility of The Investing Times is evident as a household name in its 45th year of production. The basis of its success is that it advocates stable, conservative minded and sensible investing which is printed often enough to identify actionable opportunities but not too often that it becomes subjected to short-termism and market noise (3 reports issued twice per quarter equating to 24 publications per year).

It is recognised by many as Australia’s longest-running structured investment research publication. It is independent, unbiased and liberated from the conflicting interests that are inherent in the financial planning industry, and is therefore seen as an indispensable guide to the best investments in the best asset classes with the confidence they will retain their significance in 3, 5, 10 or 15 years (as opposed to the short-termism of tomorrow).

A combination of this makes it the perfect companion for anyone involved in the supervision of an investment portfolio or self-managed super fund.

Our History

The story of the Investing Times dates back to foundations established by Austin Donnelly in 1971. Austin was recognised as Australia’s number 1 financial adviser for much of the 1970’s, 80’s and 90’s and was one of few investors to pick major market crashes with consistency (including infamously in 1987). His legacy remains as a voice for sensible investing and as an advocate for small investors. These days, the Investing Times continues to exhibit the same core values that Austin advocated, but is now a resourceful business comprising the collective voice of sensible, conservatively minded commentators with an abundance of experience and expertise.
