But the problem for investors is that increasingly the equity market does not reflect the economy. Australia\u2019s listed market has a much larger exposure to financials and materials (which includes miners) than other markets \u2013 and these sectors\u2019 share of market capitalisation are much larger than their share of the domestic economy. Put simply, Australia\u2019s equity market is overweight two sectors at the end of their super-cycles; it is overweight the past and underweight the future.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Not sure I would go so far as to exclude banks and mining from Australia&#8217;s future. Collapse of the commodity market is cyclical &#8212; admittedly the China slow-down is likely to be a long cycle &#8212; rather than a secular trend. Bank growth is also likely to slow, both from sluggish housing and job growth (from mining).
