Montgomery Small Companies Fund and investing over the longer term
Scott Phillips
April 28, 2022
We all know that equity markets don’t travel in a straight line, and that has been the case for equity markets over the last couple of years.

Share Prices within The Buy Now Pay Later Sector continue to struggle
David Buckland
April 27, 2022
Two months ago, I wrote about the tough conditions gripping the Buy Now, Pay Later sector and asked whether the agreed takeover scrip bid by Zip Co Limited (ASX: ZIP) for Sezzle Inc (ASX: SZL) at 0.98 ZIP shares for 1.00 SZL shares was a marriage of convenience or a marriage of necessity. Since then, the share prices of both companies have more than halved from $2.21 to $1.02 for ZIP and from $1.78 to $0.84 for SZL. Continue…

Macquarie’s economic update Part 2 – In the US, winter is coming
Roger Montgomery
April 26, 2022
In their latest global economic update, Macquarie Bank economists, Ric Deverell and Hayden Skilling, paint a far from rosy picture of the year ahead. For the US they see rising interest rates, a slowing economy and a strong chance of a recession. And their views on returns in equity markets are bleak. If they are correct, then it’s time for investors to be extra cautious, and to focus their portfolios on quality and growth. Continue…

Roger Montgomery
April 22, 2022
Recently, Macquarie Bank economists, Ric Deverell and Hayden Skilling, provided their much anticipated global economic update.

Andreas Lundberg
April 21, 2022
As you’ve probably read in the press, a consortium led by US-based investment behemoth, KKR & Co, has just lobbed a $20 billion bid for Ramsay Health Care (ASX:RHC), Australia’s dominant private hospital business. This values each RHC share at an all-time high of $88, well above the previous day’s close of around $64. So it’s potentially good news for RHC investors – including The Montgomery Fund. But what are the chances of the deal going through? Continue…
