Dale Gillham, chief analyst and founder of fund manager Wealth Within, said his business was founded almost 14 years ago on a similar informal version of crowd funding. “I think it is a great idea. Anything that makes it easier for small business to get funding is going to be better,” Mr Gillham said. “I particularly like the idea of people investing in things that personally capture their imagination...

Most Australians still need a reality check when it comes to money and investing. Even after more than 30 years of compulsory superannuation, the average Australian retires on far less than what is needed to fund a comfortable retirement. Tragically, the situation is unlikely to change for future generations of retirees unless more parents actually start “walking the talk”. So how do we create a better future?

After the global financial crisis, we saw a rise in the number of class actions in Australia launched by shareholders claiming compensation against listed companies. Can we blame share holders who question whether they can trust the people who run Australian-listed companies to do the right thing? One example was Sigma Pharmaceuticals (SIP), which settled in the Federal Court in late 2012, paying $57.5 million to shareholders after a class action launched by disgruntled shareholders. SIP had reportedly forecast for growth in 2009, but then posted a loss of $389 million some months later. The share price fell by around 50 per cent...
