Hi There

What a week - we have President Trump again! Interesting read in AFR on what could happen on his first day in office. Enough said. 

Katie and I are looking forward to the ASFA Conference next week at the ICC Sydney. Don't forget I am moderating a session on the impact of menopause on retirement savings - hope to see you there. 

And we're are hosting the Orphans dinner on Wednesday, 20 November at The Shelbourne Hotel. If you would like to catch up with us at the pub, reach out to Katie for the details. You don't have to be attending the ASFA conference to join us. 

Details below plus the latest news and views. 

Cheers

Sarah
