ABC News – What Coles and Woolies can do to rescue their reputations after fake discount claims
Roger Montgomery
October 1, 2024
Last week, I appeared on ABC News to discuss what Coles (ASX:COL) and Woolworths (ASX:WOW) can do to rebuild their reputations after accusations of fake discount claims, which caused a drop in both share prices. Coles is set to defend itself to the Australian Compeititon & Consumer Commission (ACCC), but both companies must act quickly to regain public trust. One of them has the chance to rally community support by being the first to address the issues openly and make meaningful changes to their pricing strategies. Continue…

ABC Statewide Drive – Money matters
Roger Montgomery
September 25, 2024
In my recent conversation with James Findlay on Statewide Drive, I discussed several key trends in the current economic landscape. Since June, major lenders and banks have only reported a modest increase in mortgage defaults and house repossessions, while vehicle defaults remain under 1 per cent. However, ASIC data shows that Australia is on track to record the highest number of business collapses in a decade, particularly in the building and food service industries, reflecting a pullback in discretionary spending.

Ausbiz – How to tap into one of the fastest growing asset classes
Roger Montgomery
October 18, 2024
In yesterday’s interview with Ausbiz, we discussed the rising importance of private credit as a key asset class, with projections indicating it could double by 2028 to nearly $2.8 trillion. I explained that traditional 60/40 portfolios are becoming less effective due to the increased correlation between bonds and equities. By reallocating part of the fixed income exposure to private credit, investors can achieve higher returns and fewer losing years. A portfolio mix of 40 per cent equities, 30 per cent fixed income, and 30 per cent private credit not only enhances performance but also reduces volatility, providing greater portfolio stability without compromising equity exposure.

Roger Montgomery
October 16, 2024
Last night on ABC Nightlife, I joined Philip Clark to discuss the challenges of predicting market turning points. We also explored the concerning state of China’s economy, where plummeting property prices and Xi Jinping’s attempts to shift towards a consumption-driven model akin to those of Australia, the U.S. and Europe could have significant impacts on Australia due to our strong trade ties. Lastly, we touched on Australia’s housing market, where both property prices and rents have surged dramatically since the COVID-19 pandemic.

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).
