Cash still dominates many investment portfolios at the moment, indicating that Australians are still wary about investing in equities. The ongoing uncertainty facing sharemarkets has many investors spooked and is the very reason why the appetite for term deposits remains sky high.

In recognition of this, Zurich Investments has developed a video for investors
emphasising the importance of growth assets within a portfolio.
