Despite some policy success lowering inflation, the pace of disinflation has slowed, causing authorities to reassess interest rate policy settings. This combined with recent geopolitical uncertainty may be leaving investors asking, how should I position my portfolio for what lies ahead?

We’re pleased to share our market outlooks featuring key insights from our specialist investment partners.

Australian Equities

We think the market is currently overlooking a number of unloved “quality” companies and investors need to consider different ways to play a few of the new emerging themes.

Watch Outlook

Emerging Markets

Emerging Markets valuations are compelling and difficult to ignore and this is ultimately the biggest driver of investment returns over the long-term.

Watch Outlook

Australian Small Companies

Along with the growth characteristics of the asset class, we view the current economic settings as a recipe for a positive re-rating of the sector.

Watch Outlook

Global Equities

We see significant divergence in global equity markets and with interest rates expected to be higher for longer, finding the high quality core compounders is key.

Watch Outlook

Australian Agriculture

In addition to being the fastest growing sector, a well managed Australian agriculture investment, can come with relatively lower volatility.
