The World Economic Forum just posted its most recent Global Competitiveness index. I don't agree with some of the underlying measurements, but I find the depth and transparency into their process excellent - if you are wondering how they got to a score then the answer is probably available. Very useful when looking at which international countries to invest our superannuation and investment funds.
An excerpt for Australia is shown below (comments are mine):
Damien has a wealth of experience across international equities (Schroders), asset allocation (Wilson HTM) and he helped create one of Australia’s largest independent research firm, Aegis Equities. He lectured for over a decade at the Securities Institute, Finsia and Kaplan and spent many of those years as the external Chair for the subject of Industrial Equity Analysis. Damien runs the investment side of Nucleus Wealth, selecting stocks suggested by analysts and implementing the asset allocation. Damien started Nucleus Wealth after 20+ years in financial markets. He wanted to come up with an investment solution for ordinary investors that delivers the same types of personalised investment portfolios high net worth investors use.
