Australian shares ended the day little changed, but there is plenty happening beneath the surface. AMP Chief Investment Officer Anna Shelley explains why many superannuation funds delivered double-digit returns last financial year, the role global markets including South Korea played, and whether recent volatility could reshape investment strategies. Plus, Rory Cunningham from the ASX unpacks the record boom in exchange traded funds and why more Australians are investing through ETFs, before Chris Weston from Pepperstone wraps up the day's market action and the forces driving the Australian sharemarket.
