This strategic cash reserve will enable us to respond promptly to emerging opportunities and reallocate to our core holdings once market conditions stabilize.
The ETF Elite Portfolio has performed well, with a return of 1.86% since inception after fees, aligning with its goal of outperforming the ASX 200 benchmark by a couple of percentage points annually.

This month’s investment committee meeting revealed a market environment that can best be described as “quietly optimistic.” Inflation is settling into central bank target ranges, employment remains strong, and consumer spending is holding up—surprisingly so in both the U.S. and Australia.

The Index Plus Portfolio is constructed to outperform the ASX 200 benchmark by 3-4% annually. By balancing stable market exposure with tactical allocations in high-growth and thematic sectors, the portfolio aims to deliver enhanced returns without taking on excessive risk.
