Why the biggest failed IPO in history, Ant Group, represents the most disruptive model for financial services in our generation

Plenty of ink gets spent by strategists and economists opining on the latest political developments and implications for markets. So, does investment success require a crystal ball on politics? 

Australia’s private-debt market and the investors that specialise in it are not new phenomena. What is new is a headline cash rate at close to zero and the withdrawal of supply from the biggest historical source of local credit issuance – the major banks. Specialist investors say their sector is attracting more interest and inflows on the back of this changed environment.

The historically low cash rate has meant investor appetite for yield across the fixed income spectrum has become insatiable. In searching for yield, one key asset class has generally been overlooked. Investment Manager, Guy Kaufman, explains.

As investors we take positions with foresight but are judged from hindsight. So come 2030, how will you judge your investment decisions during the COVID-19 dislocation?

The search for enhanced returns in a low rate environment can be a fruitful exercise, but it is not without danger. Managing Director, John Garrett, explains how investors can mitigate risk.

The MA Financial Group Foundation is proud to partner with Beyond Blue in supporting mental health and wellbeing across our communities, particularly during these challenging and unprecedented times.

The events of 2020 have reiterated just how hard it is to forecast markets. When it comes to building a robust portfolio, regardless of market conditions, we seek to answer just one key question.
