Managed Funds some interesting managed funds data

Nigel Ward · 27th Jul, 2006

Research by AFG Global Funds Management Index shows that on a per capita basis, Australians have $44,911 invested in managed funds – nearly 15% more than the second ranking country, the USA.

This is based on final quarter 05 data.

Inflows to managed funds in Australia have grown by 97.5% since 2000, however, during the last six months of 2005 growth was a relatively modest 5.9%. This compares with growth rates for the USA of 8.0%, Canada – 10.3% and UK – 10.2% during the same six month period.

QLD and WA populations tipped to explode

The future looks very bright indeed for property markets in the growth states of Western Australia and Queensland based on the latest official population forecasts. Western Australia and Queensland emerge as the big winners in the Australian Bureau of Statistics’ revised population projections. The Bureau’s mid-range projections for the next 15 years estimate that WA will grow by 500,000 people. The highlights of the ABS forecasts include:

* WA’s population will grow to 2.5 million people by 2021, which is 25% greater than current levels. The population of Perth will pass the two million mark in 2025.
* WA’s population will be double South Australia’s by 2051.
* Queensland will overtake Victoria in 2041.
* WA’s share of the Australian population will grow from 9.8% in 2004 to 11.2% in 2051.
* Over the next 15 years WA will add 500,000 people, SA will only add 90,000 people, NSW will add 950,000 people, VIC will add 750,000 people and QLD will add a massive 1.2 million people.
* The population growth rates are not steady over the forecast periods and there will be faster growth in the early years.

The average household size is expected to continue to shrink and there will be more single person households, over the forecast period. This means that demand for housing will grow at a faster rate than the growth in the population.

The rapid growth in WA’s population will continue the economies of scale around the Perth metropolitan area that will support a larger commercial and industrial property sector to service the expanded population.

The steady rise in WA’s share of the national population means that WA can expect to figure more prominently in federal affairs, including a greater volume of Commonwealth funds going to WA, more federal politicians and greater attention given to the outcome of WA federal seats.

I doubt they'd be able to distinguish between you or I having a few quid in a managed fund, and a super mob with a few quid in a managed fund?
