Brett Craig
January 27, 2023
This week, the December 2022 quarterly Consumer Price Index (CPI) reported the fourth consecutive quarter to show a rise greater than any seen since the introduction of GST in 2000.

Polen Capital

End of the Term Funding Facility = Greater opportunity for Non-bank SME Lenders
David Buckland
January 25, 2023
When the COVID-19 pandemic got going in early-2020, the Reserve Bank of Australia established the Term Funding Facility (TFF) to offer low-cost three-year funding to authorized deposit-taking institutions (ADIs, often referred to as the Banks). This facility essentially provided the Banks with access to extremely low-cost funding (at a flat 0.10 per cent fixed for 3 years) for the period up until 30 June 2021, when new drawdowns ceased.

Polen Capital
January 23, 2023
The fourth quarter of 2022 echoed themes that endured throughout the year, and despite posting double-digit returns over the quarter, 2022 ended with the largest annual decline since 2008. While multiple compression was behind the broad decline over the year, the fourth quarter saw multiples expand for the first time since Q4 2021. Signs of inflation slowing mostly drove this reversal.

What can we expect from markets in 2023?
Scott Phillips
January 20, 2023
The calendar year of 2022 proved to be a tough one for most investors. In fact, it is only the third time in the last 100 years that both equities and bonds have recorded a down year together (those years being 1931, 1969 and now 2022). Bonds, which usually provide a cushioning effect for portfolios in times of equity market weakness proved ineffective as inflation soared, pushing bond yields higher and bond prices lower. Continue…
