Numerous behavioural studies show that woman make better investors than men, but on average woman are less financially secure than men. Shane is passionate about trying to bridge this gap. Shane Oliver joined AMP in 1984, becoming Chief Economist in 1994 and is now Chief Economist and Head of Investment Strategy. Shane has extensive experience analysing economic and investment cycles and what current positioning means for the return potential for different asset classes such as shares, bonds, property and infrastructure. He is a regular media commentator on economic and investment market issues and engages regularly with investors at public events and forums. Shane is CoHead of the Investment Strategy and Economics team, responsible for the provision of economic and macro investment analysis and more importantly the management of the Dynamic Markets Fund and the determination of AMP Capital’s asset allocation policy which is applied across more than $100 billion invested in multi-asset funds. Shane has a PhD in economics which focussed on the validly of the Efficient Market Hypothesis (it isn't) and asset price bubbles (there are). He is also an Adjunct Professor of Economics at Macquarie University. Apart from economics and macro investing, Shane enjoys boating, garden rearrangement, fantasy novels and pop music (particularly Elvis, Burt Bacharach, the Beach Boys, the Pet Shop Boys, Kylie and Katy Perry) and is married with two children.

The calm before the storm. Since putting the call
The calm before the storm. Since putting the call out for female tradies to join a 50/50 gender equal construction team to build our modern farm house in northern nsw, I’ve been busy getting heaps of contacts together (#thankyou) after so many recommendations - please keep them coming for this project as I have a few gaps in those available due to the rush on with #homebuildersgrant. But This dream is alive and well and it’s set to happen with earth works kicking off in March/April - weather permitting!!! #financybuild #pleasestaysunny

Grateful to my family and this country today.  Grateful for taking a break away from the #financybuild #womensindex and immersing myself in the salt, vibrant greens and aqua waters. Our past matters, traditional landowners matter, the present matters and what we do with our future matters for everyone. #genderequality

2021 is all about taking action to improve gender
2021 is all about taking action to improve gender financial equality. With the help of some friends, I’ve put together a to do list (link in bio or visit Financy.com.au) for women, businesses and government on the key things that we can do to make an impact for young generations of women and men. 

We must try focusing on five areas: paid and unpaid work, leadership, education and wealth (superannuation).

What are you doing to take action this year?

This year I’m project managing our house build and I had this radical idea of putting together a construction team of 50/50 women to men. That idea of course shouldn’t be radical but in a male dominated industry it is and it’s sparked conversation about whether I will find the quality craftsmanship (craftswomanship) missing or be unable to reach the 50/50 goal in 2021. 
But I’m determined to get there and am putting the call out to female tradies in northern nsw or who want the work to get in touch.
Why am I doing this? Well besides being the founder of the Women’s Index which measures Australia’s progress towards gender financial equality each quarter, I want to do my bit to lead by example and ensure some of that whopping $2 billion cash blow out in home builder contracts actually reaches female pockets to the same or similar extent of men’s.
#Financybuild here we come!

My year review for women: #covid_19, gender employ
My year review for women: #covid_19, gender employment inequality, rising domestic violence against women, rising unpaid work, raids on superannuation despite gender gap, declining birth and marriage rate, less female ceos in Australia, highest paid person is a woman,  Free childcare, no free childcare, women on boards increases, less women enrol in studies after high school, more enrol in IT studies, more women’s money platforms launched, products becoming more targeted and yet gender lens and policy is still a niche area. Mental health support services report being under resources And despite it all women are feeling more optimistic than men - yet not many of us remember being surveyed for that report!  #financy #womensindex
