Happy Monday, Light Brigade!
And a big welcome to all of our new members.
I hope you had a great weekend. We went to see SPARKS in Brisbane on Saturday night and it was amazing! Terrific live show. Can’t believe the guys are still pulling it off in their late 70s/early 80s. Their most recent single, DO THINGS MY OWN WAY, could be the QAV motto.
Let’s get into the news.
Market This Week (All Ordinaries)
The Aussie market had a decent week, up about 0.6% on the five-day view. Bit of a wild ride though — we saw it spike up mid-week before taking a proper tumble, then bouncing back strong to finish near the highs.

All the best,
Cameron

PORTFOLIO UPDATE
All Time
Our QAV Light portfolio is sitting at around 19.5%, smashing the ASX 200 which is only up about 10% — so we’re beating the benchmark by roughly 9.5 percentage points since inception. Pretty good result, especially after that strong run through 2025 where we really pulled ahead of the index.

Financial Year to Date
Our QAV Light portfolio is sitting pretty at 29% for the financial year, beating the ASX 200 by a solid 23 percentage points. We’ve had a bit of a rollercoaster ride — peaked around 31% in February, took a dive in March, but we’re back on track and well ahead of the benchmark that’s only managed about 6%.

Last 30 Days
Our QAV Light portfolio smashed it by comparison this month — we’re up 1.26% while the ASX 200 only managed 0.20%. That’s a solid 6x outperformance.

Last 12 Months
Our QAV Light portfolio finished the 12 months at +29.44% versus the ASX 200’s +7.66% — so we’re beating the benchmark by about 22 percentage points.
