The Megatrends Here to Stay

Most of the world’s great investors are masters at identifying structural investment trends they can rely to drive their portfolio performance for decades rather than weeks.

Is it Time to Worry Like Ray Dalio?

Ray Dalio has spent much of the past decade warning that investors are misreading reality. Markets, he argues, are telling one story in nominal terms and a very different one in real money terms. Asset prices may be rising, portfolios may look healthy, and indices may be hitting new highs, but measured against the true store of value, purchasing power, many investors are quietly going backwards.

2026 Investment Markets Outlook: A Narrow but Navigable Pathway Upwards

As the new year begins, the global economy is on a surprisingly resilient track, although the margin for policy error by governments and central bankers is narrow. With global inflation sticky but moderating and high developed-market government debt, central banks face an ever-finer line in their efforts to cut rates without reigniting inflation or destabilising bond markets.

The Rising Cost of Financial Advice: the CSLR levy, Professional Indemnity and Why Fees are Rising

The Lessons 2025 Taught Us All

2025 has been a year when it has paid to learn from the markets. And there have been plenty of lessons flying at investors open to learning. For example, structural dynamics often override thematic hopes, macro-regime shifts matter, diversification remains the only free lunch in finance, and cost-control plus discipline still beats speculative glamour.

The Best Investment You’ll Ever Make

If you’ve ever met a master investor, the first thing you’re likely to notice about them is their humility. Markets have a way of humbling us while teaching us valuable lessons. The second thing you’re likely to learn about them is the extent of their financial education. Not only did they learn from each and every investment mistake they’ve ever made, they’re also likely to have invested a lot of time and money in their financial education.

The U.S. vs the Rest of the World

For more than a decade, it’s rarely been wrong to be long U.S. equities. The numbers are hard to argue with: the MSCI USA index has outperformed the MSCI World index by almost 50% over the past ten years. The longer term data is even more stark: U.S. stocks have risen from 30% of the MSCI World Index in the 1990s to 75% today. For all intents and purposes, U.S. stocks now dominate global equities.

CIPRs Explained Simply: Building a Reliable Retirement Income Stream

For such a critical and long-dreamed of part of life, investing in retirement was woefully underserviced until recently. Superannuation funds focused heavily on the accumulation stage, relegating pension phase to a side thought. As Australians have come to live longer, and more of the baby boomers have retired – one of the largest generation cohorts, it’s become patently clear that retirement investment strategies need more nuance to manage the unique challenges of retirement.

Why the Run on Real Assets May Be Just Getting Started

In a world dominated by all things technology-related, it’s been easy for investors to forget about real assets. Until recently, many did. But recently, a noteworthy shift began back toward the precious metals, commodities, infrastructure, and real estate of the real assets world. Their appeal is intuitively easy to understand. It’s their tangibility, while historically they’ve been viewed as inflation hedges and diversifiers.
