Managed Discretionary Accounts – Purchase of BSL and Market Update
Posted on October 14, 2010 by
I’m sure any of you who have read the newspaper lately have read about the impending second round of Quantative easing (QE2) from the US Federal Reserve, which the market would have you believe will happen any day. It would seem that ‘the market’ also believes that this will be catalyst for the next leg up in equities. As a result equities have been very buoyant in anticipation of QE2, even in the face of poor-ish jobs numbers in the US. Continue reading »

Managed Discretionary Accounts – Sale of BHP and Purchase of WBC
Posted on October 11, 2010 by
With approximately 16% of the account in BHP, the investment returned (including dividend) a gross profit of $3.50 or a 1.48% gain on the overall portfolio in six weeks.

Overall BHP reached our target profit of 10% and as it was nearing the top of its current trading range we decided it was a good idea to take the profit. Continue reading »

We’ve gone completely ‘off model’
Posted on August 26, 2010 by
While meeting with a marketing agency last week I was asked to explain what was different about the way we invest. What is our ‘key point of difference’ compared to, say, your average managed fund. By far the most significant difference is that we don’t use a model portfolio. In this way we also differentiate ourselves from the majority of IMA’s and SMAs (Individually and separately managed accounts) because they also all use model portfolios. Continue reading »

If we were fund managers we'd be 'fund manager of the year 2010'
Posted on August 2, 2010 by Steve
I read with some interest an article about the ‘2010 fund manager of the year’. While we do operate in the ‘managed funds’ space, what we offer isn’t strictly speaking a managed fund, never the less I wanted to read about what it took to be fund manager of the year. Continue reading »
