       Quarterly manager commentary


       Market Update
       The June quarter was a stark reminder that markets can defy economic logic in the short term with data all but confirming looming recession locally
       and globally whilst most asset classes saw reasonable to strong positive returns.

       Central banks grew more hawkish as the quarter went on as inflation remained persistently high in most countries. Whilst headline inflation has
       peaked and continues to fall due to easing energy & food prices and repaired supply chains, core or underlying inflation is falling at a much slower
       pace and reaccelerated higher in some countries during the quarter. Demand remains more resilient than most expected given the extraordinary
       amount of stimulus provided during covid still providing consumers with spending capacity whilst labour markets remain very tight with
       unemployment still extremely low and wages growth remaining elevated. As such, central banks have brought back their tough talking on the fight
       against inflation to ensure that the inflation trajectory continues on a downward path and does not reaccelerate higher like it has in some jurisdictions.

       In contrast, leading economic indicators continued to flash red pointing to looming recessions, with Australia joining the party in the quarter as the
       government bond yield curve finally inverted (ie. shorter-dated bond yields higher than longer-dated yields). Retail sales data continued to weaken.
       Manufacturing production and services remained in contractionary territory and weakened further. Consumer and business confidence & sentiment
       remain well below their covid peaks, whilst continuing to weaken in some countries. Bad debts are beginning to rise but off a very a low base.
       Economic growth continues to contract globally with Germany and NZ entering technical recessions in the quarter, and others expected to follow over
       the next 6-9 months.

       Around the grounds, the US finally patched over their US debt ceiling debacle with a last minute and very odd agreement to extend the ceiling until
       after the 2024 elections with no upper limit. US banking system stress seemed to stabilise during the quarter, but regional banks are not out of the
       woods just yet.
