Quarterly manager commentary

Market Update
“Nothing to see here” was the first thing that came to mind in the September quarter given how exceptionally strong returns were. But that couldn’t be
further from the truth given how action-packed the period was with bursts of heightened market volatility, a perplexing mix of economic data, and
rising political and geopolitical risks.

Interestingly, the strongest returns came from yield sensitive growth markets like listed property and infrastructure, and Australian equities which were
also assisted by a rising Australian dollar. These asset classes benefited from a combination of central bank rate cuts (abroad) and declining bond
yields all whilst inflationary trends remained somewhat stubborn in certain jurisdictions (namely, Australia and the US).

Relatively strong returns from bonds in the quarter, benefiting firstly from concerns regarding the economic outlook, and then from central bank rate
cuts, both of which put downward pressure on bond yields and hence an uplift in capital values (growth). Corporate credit also performed well with
strong buying from investors and healthy yield levels. Within equity markets, we saw a surprising change in leadership with Chinese equities rocketing

Other market moves largely added confusion to the mix. The Australian dollar rose strongly against the USD, largely driven by the latter falling on
concerns regarding the US economic outlook and the outsized initial rate cut from the Fed. Oil prices fell sharply in the period, seemingly appear to
better price recession risks than both equity and bond markets haven been. Even a widening of the conflict in the Middle East wasn’t enough to arrest
the decline in oil price. Increasingly noticed and watched gold prices rose in the quarter, likely pricing in concerns regarding potentially stickier inflation
and a weaker economic and hence lower bond yield environment.

All this played out in a backdrop where the economic picture and outlook became increasingly obfuscated, with different asset classes pricing in or
exhibiting different economic expectations. A couple of sharp and sudden changes in expectations in the quarter saw some rather large single day
