FWIW, it's widely understood in Australia as well.
- vertis 4y agoIs it? I lived in Australia for 80% of my life and never heard it. That's not impossible of course, but it's not like I was uninvolved in those topics. Either way it's still not an second language thing. It's a using acronyms without definition thing.
- __d 4y agoWell, unless that 80% has overlapped with the last 5 years, you'll have missed it. But anyone who reads company annual reports (eg. for personal investing), or the financial bits of a newspaper (online or otherwise), or even reads their annual superannuation statement, would very likely have seen the term used (in OZ).
- vertis 4y agoI've been gone for about 4 years, and admittedly don't read many company annual reports (and my super balance I get in a more digital upate). I haven't really seen it crop up in the online stuff I read (some of it Australian financial), but I can see how it would be easy to miss as well.
