Each month, La Trobe Financial produces a series of short videos. Watch now to stay up to date with our business, our portfolios and what we are seeing in the economy. This month, we provide an update on our portfolio performance, as well as share our current thinking on the property market and economy.
Business & Portfolio Update: Chris Paton, Chief Investment Officer
Portfolio income, portfolio strength and our industrial-strength liquidity management capabilities shone through the 2023 Financial Year to deliver sustainable, low-volatility income:
-
- La Trobe Financial’s liquidity management continues to pass real-life stress tests
-
- Current portfolio health remains excellent
- Portfolio assets continue to show resilience in an environment of increased interest rates.
Economic Update: Michael Watson, Head of Distribution
Inflation remains key as central banks watch its return towards target.
-
- The pace of the return of inflation towards its target range remains the central concern of the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA).
-
- A moderation across a range of data points is promising; however,
- Clear and decisive data to have the RBA put a full stop behind rates rises is still not present.
Property Market Update: Lilian Chin, Director of Client Partnerships
Property bears in 2022 misjudged the market, with increasing prices each month since February, but it’s not time to get ahead of ourselves:
- Property market nationally continuing to increase month-on-month
- Underlying softness is evident in some areas of the market
- The Demand / Supply mismatch evident in the market is acting as an effective floor on prices.
