About Switzer Daily

Switzer Daily is Australia’s free daily source of expert financial news, market analysis and investing commentary. We publish Monday to Friday, with three to six articles each day written by named experts — not anonymous staff.

The site was founded in 2008 by Peter Switzer as the free, public-facing companion to Switzer Report, our premium subscription investment research service. Both publications are operated by Switzer Financial Group Pty Ltd (AFSL 286531) and are headquartered in Sydney.

Our mission

How we work

Every article on Switzer Daily is signed by a named author. We don’t publish anonymous content. Where an analyst is sharing an opinion, it’s framed as opinion. Where a claim is factual — broker rating, company financial, RBA statement, ASX disclosure — it’s drawn from a primary source. Corrections are made promptly and noted at the bottom of the original article.
