Myth: Private credit only involves lending to distressed businesses and sectors/industries
Roger Montgomery
November 4, 2024
In this short video, I was joined by Brett Craig, Director at Aura Credit Holdings, our partner in private credit, to addresses a common misconception: that private lending is only for distressed businesses. Brett explains that the Aura Private Credit Income Fund does not deal with distressed debt but focuses on providing capital to quality Australian businesses. After regulatory changes post-GFC, major banks shifted focus, leaving a $400 billion funding gap that private credit funds are now filling to help these businesses grow and thrive. Continue…

Roger Montgomery
November 1, 2024
Last night, I joined James Kirby on The Australian podcast, The Money Puzzle, to discuss the crucial role company boards play in managing CEOs, particularly when poor leadership behaviour starts impacting shareholder value. With recent scandals involving companies like Qantas (ASX:QAN), WiseTech (ASX:WTC), and Mineral Resources (ASX:MIN), we examined how a CEO’s actions can significantly affect both public trust and financial returns for investors. We also took listeners’ questions and discussed the current advantages and disadvantages of artificial intelligence (AI).

David Buckland

Ausbiz – AI’s winners and losers
Roger Montgomery
October 31, 2024
In this morning’s Ausbiz episode, I discussed how generative artificial intelligence (AI) might ultimately benefit consumers more than shareholders. We explored the distinct roles within the AI landscape: “upstream” companies like Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) and Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) provide essential infrastructure, while “downstream” firms like Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Google (NASDAQ:GOOG), and Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) apply the technology but face slowing profit growth. Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), interestingly, occupies a “midstream” position, balancing both infrastructure and application. Continue…

Fear + Greed: Why the AI boom might be a bubble – for now
Roger Montgomery
October 29, 2024
This week, I had a great conversation with Sean Aylmer on the Fear and Greed podcast, where we discussed the current artificial intelligence (AI) boom. We examined how companies operating upstream, such as Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), have reached new heights, and questioned whether downstream companies can effectively monetise AI to create value for investors – or if AI could become an innovation that primarily benefits society but falls short in generating substantial shareholder returns.
