Don’t overlook active equity funds for long-term gains

Many investors lack the time, expertise, or desire to manage their stock portfolios, making actively managed equity funds an easy and practical solution. Unlike passive funds, which simply track the market, active equity funds employ stock-picking and strategic adjustments to target objectives like growth, income, or diversification. This active approach allows fund managers to capitalise on market opportunities and adapt to changing conditions.

Why rate cuts aren’t bad news for mortgage funds

With interest rates at a decade-high and the RBA signalling potential rate cuts sometime next year, the current yields on mortgage funds present an attractive opportunity. Mortgage funds have gained traction as higher interest rates have made lending to the commercial real estate sector increasingly attractive. This shift has occurred while traditional property investments such as real estate investment trusts are facing significant valuation challenges.

The Fed’s cut may be the starter gun for small cap outperformance

With the Fed initiating a rate cutting cycle in September, investors are increasingly focusing on asset classes positioned to outperform in a falling rate environment. Enter smaller companies. Historically, small-cap stocks have outperformed their larger counterparts during periods of declining interest rates — and this trend seems to be taking hold as both global and domestic small-cap benchmarks have shown improved performance in recent months.

The 5 steps to an information advantage over the market

With the vast array of information investors have at their fingertips, you’d think it would be easy to spot investment trends before the rest of the market. If only. The problem is there’s too much available information for most investors to make sense of. After a while, reams of written text become just more words rather than a source of learning. Hence, interpreting and understanding the vast universe of words that relate to investing is almost impossible for most investors. So the question is: how can investors side-step this information overload challenge to spot investment trends before the rest of the market?

How to generate high yield despite the concerning ASX dividend trend

Australian shares have traditionally been a go-to for income investors due to their attractive dividend yields. However, the market is undergoing a significant shift and the record payouts that followed the resources boom seem to be coming to an end. Recently, the base yield of the Australian market dipped below 4%, with rising costs and a weakening Chinese economy contributing to the decline. Morgan Stanley forecasts that the S&P/ASX 200 dividend yield will drop to just 3.6% in FY25, potentially marking the lowest yield for the ASX 200 in decades, excluding the COVID-19 period.

The biggest risk in the market right now

You may remember when the yen carry trade revealed itself as the catalyst for August’s sharp selloff across global markets. The knock-on effects of its unwinding surprised more than a handful of investors at the time. The sobering news is that the yen carry trade continues to linger and is arguably the market’s biggest risk right now. It may well be prudent for investors to prepare for a repeat of August’s volatility.
