The Kind of Portfolio You Can Sleep Through a Market Crash With

The Cheapest Commodity in the World Right Now

For most of financial history, oil has been the beating heart of the global economy as it has fuelled transport, industry, and economic growth.

Ten Investment Mistakes Your Future Self Wishes You’d Avoid

The most expensive investment mistakes rarely stem from ignorance. They tend to arise from behavioural biases, poorly governed decision-making, and incentives that distort investors’ judgement over time.

The Great Broadening Has Begun

Are you tired of hearing about the Magnificent Seven being the only investment game in town? That would be understandable since it’s the narrative that’s dominated global equity markets for many years now. It’s been the same outside of the U.S., including here in Australia.

‘Britain’s Warren Buffet’ & the Discipline of Being Early

Anthony Bolton, often described as ‘Britain’s Warren Buffett’, remains one of the few modern investing masters whose reputation rests not on a single cycle or style tailwind, but on a long, verifiable record of compounding through multiple market environments.

The Megatrends Here to Stay

Most of the world’s great investors are masters at identifying structural investment trends they can rely to drive their portfolio performance for decades rather than weeks.

Is it Time to Worry Like Ray Dalio?

Ray Dalio has spent much of the past decade warning that investors are misreading reality. Markets, he argues, are telling one story in nominal terms and a very different one in real money terms.

2026 Investment Markets Outlook: A Narrow but Navigable Pathway Upwards

As the new year begins, the global economy is on a surprisingly resilient track, although the margin for policy error by governments and central bankers is narrow.
