Scott Phillips
February 25, 2016
Many keen tennis fans who watched the free-to-air coverage of the Australian Open this year would have undoubtedly seen the in-game advertising by Industry SuperFunds Australia. The advertising compared the two players on court performance at the completion of the set. It was usually accompanied by a commentator causally trying to work the phrase ‘compare the pair‘ into their analysis of the game, and an Industry SuperFunds Australia logo would also appear on screen (some may have found it to be the perfect time to take a bathroom break). continue…

Spotting value in an uncertain climate
Roger Montgomery
January 27, 2016
We aren’t in the business of forecasting and it has no place in our investment process which last year delivered investors in The Montgomery Fund returns of more than 19 per cent against the stock market returns of just 2.8 per cent inclusive of dividends. At the beginning of 2015 we thought there wasn’t a lot of value around and lower returns should be expected.

We have previously written about the bubble in stocks (and inevitably property) inflated by the baby boomer’s desperate search for yield. We described the pursuit of yield as a fad. So, while we were not surprised to watch investors rushing into higher yielding banks and Telstra, we were shocked to hear of investors buying BHP for its ‘progressive’ dividend. continue…

November 2, 2015
The path to investment success is fraught with peril. It needn’t be this way, but along the road there are many traps for the unwary, and it seems that the natural state for we humans – at least when it comes to investments – is a certain level of unwariness.
