Six of Australia’s leading markets experts share their investment insights and strategies. From the performance of the Australian economy to active investing and global investment strategies, they covered it all.
Key Takeaways: The relative and absolute performance of the Australian economy has been stronger than expected. Our economic fundamentals are solid and put us in a good position to navigate a relatively challenging global environment.
Emerging Trends: The breadth of data is supporting the economic recovery in Australia. All else equal, this should continue to support the AUD as it heads towards the USD $0.70 cent level.
Challenges and Pain Points: It is important for Australia to make sure we work towards long-term solutions for both housing policy and energy policy. The latter is very important – economies with relatively low energy costs will be at a natural advantage as we continue transition away from carbon intensive energy sources.

Dr David Allen from Plato Investments says these extremes create fertile ground, and with a long/short approach investors gain exposure to the most undervalued stocks while also unlocking performance.
Why the old rules of investing may no longer be true
No matter what your investment horizon or preferred way of investing, Damien Boey from Wilson Asset Management says the plumbing of the financial system matters. With central banks wrapping markets in cotton wool, bond yields and credit spreads remain suppressed while stock markets run hard. Whether intentionally or not, as a result, many investors are choosing to become passive thematic buyers. So, when do we return to value and quality?
Tailwinds for Alpha
As markets make record highs, Pinnacle Investment’s Anthony Doyle says bearish-ness has become business model – and there are still significant reasons to invest in global equity markets. Hear why he thinks investors should utilise a dynamic, forward-looking, resilient global equity approach that balances growth, value, quality and risk management – and why passive is not a risk-free strategy.
