And a big welcome to all of our new members.
Market This Week (All Ordinaries)
The All Ordinaries continued to hum and haw last week, finishing up a little after a big dip early on, but then retreated again this morning, as the world teeters on the brink of economic and social catastrophe. As Tony always says, markets like predictability, and the current situation is anything but. Fortunately, we have a system that tells us what to do.

Let’s see what’s going on in the portfolio.
All the best,
Cameron

PORTFOLIO UPDATE
All Time
Our QAV Light portfolio is sitting at about 16% while the ASX 200 benchmark is around 9–10%, so we’re beating the index by roughly 6–7%. Pretty solid outperformance but not quite double market after the recent retreat.

Financial Year to Date
We’re absolutely smashing the ASX 200 this financial year — our QAV Light portfolio is sitting pretty at +18.43% while the benchmark is barely scraping together 1.09%. That’s a gap of over 17 percentage points, which will buy us a lot of buffer over the long term.

Last 30 Days
Bit of a rough month for both us and the benchmark — we’re sitting at around ‑9.4% while the ASX 200 is down about ‑8.5%. So we’re trailing the index by roughly 1% this month, which isn’t what we want to see but it’s not a disaster either. The buffer means we can weather the storm.

Last 12 Months
We’re sitting pretty at +24.38% versus the ASX 200’s +9.19% — that’s about 15 percentage points ahead of the benchmark over the last 12 months. Sure, we took a bit of a haircut from those March peaks, but we’re still crushing the index by a decent margin.
