Joseph identifies the sectors with pockets of clear strength.

In this week’s video insight Stuart discusses how the banks are positioned with a less economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic than first anticipated. Since the pre-COVID market high on 20 February 2020, the banks have generated a loss of 7 per cent compared to a loss of 3 per cent of the broader market over the same period, despite share prices outperforming in recent months.  The Price to Earnings multiple of the banks have been falling for some time as a result of margin compression and higher capital requirements reducing their return generated on incremental equity invested.

In this week’s video insight David identifies why as investors we can only play what is in front of us. In reaction to the COVID-19 pandemic, Central Banks have been printing money so Governments – which are running substantial deficits – can pay for financial assets, welfare programs, infrastructure and salaries for public servants.  Productivity reform is largely ignored, and together with ageing demographics and indebtedness, there is a handbrake to future economic growth.

This Christmas I’d like to reflect on Community and Individualism. This year, I believe we have seen demonstrated, comprehensively, the failure of a society to deal with a crisis because the rights of the individual usurp the needs of the community.  We want to be known for our individual accomplishments, for our abilities and at the extreme end of individualistic fame as highlighted by so much of social media – we simply want to be known for being known. Instead, we should be known for caring for others, for helping and for rescuing those in need.  For putting others first and above ourselves.
