QAV Light Weekly Update #104

Hap­py Mon­day!

The AORD hit its all-time high last week but dropped this morn­ing “with min­ers and ener­gy tak­ing the brunt”, accord­ing to the AFR. 

PORTFOLIO UPDATES

As it’s the start of the month, let’s take a look at how our Light port­fo­lios are per­form­ing.

LIGHT PORTFOLIO GROUP RESULTS 

As a group, our port­fo­lios are still doing about half the per­for­mance of the bench­mark, still try­ing to recov­er from the crash of ear­ly ’22.

PORTFOLIO 221

This port­fo­lio closed 18/04/2022, just as the mar­ket crashed due to the Ukraine war. Hor­ri­ble tim­ing. As a result, we were sit­ting on a lot of cash for a long time, look­ing for some­thing to buy. It’s still down ~2 % pa (vs SPDR 200 +8%). 

PORTFOLIO 222

This port­fo­lio closed 08/08/2022 and is up ~13% pa (vs SPDR 200 +6%), per­form­ing at dou­ble mar­ket, which is our goal. 

PORTFOLIO 223

This port­fo­lio closed 07/11/2022 and has recov­ered back to a pos­i­tive posi­tion (vs STW +11%). It spent a lot of the last year hold­ing cash wait­ing for the mar­ket to recov­er.

PORTFOLIO 231

This one closed 20/06/2023 and is cur­rent­ly up ~1% (vs SPDR 200 +10%). As you can see in the chart, it took a few big loss­es in Sep – Nov but has been recov­er­ing since then quite quick­ly.

These are an oppor­tu­ni­ty for peo­ple to ask ques­tions about how QAV works. It does­n’t mat­ter if you’re a new lis­ten­er, a Light mem­ber or a full QAV Club mem­ber — every­one is wel­come and all ques­tions are valid.

BUYS

CURRENT HOLDINGS

** Please remem­ber to review our Buy­ing Guide­lines to under­stand which cap bands you should be look­ing at and oth­er impor­tant con­sid­er­a­tions. 

DISCLOSURE 

In the inter­est of full dis­clo­sure, we would like to advise that, as of the date of this email, the QAV team cur­rent­ly hold these stocks in their per­son­al port­fo­lios:

ALD ANZ DTL EHE FHE FPR MMS PRU QBE RMS SSM SUL VUK WAM WGX AMC BSL WDS

Please note that our per­son­al hold­ings might not include the stocks we rec­om­mend in QAV Light. This is because we already have full port­fo­lios (15–20 stocks) and can only add new stocks if we have to sell some­thing. 
If you’re inter­est­ed in learn­ing more, please review our trad­ing and dis­clo­sure pol­i­cy.

FOR NEW MEMBERS

If you’re new to QAV Light, here’s a quick reminder on how it works. 

1. We send you an email every Mon­day advis­ing which stocks we are adding to our Light port­fo­lio.
2. You can copy our trades, but please remem­ber to review our Trad­ing Guide­lines to under­stand which cap you should be look­ing at and oth­er impor­tant con­sid­er­a­tions. And con­sult a finan­cial plan­ner before mak­ing any deci­sions.
3. We don’t rec­om­mend that you add stocks which are already in our port­fo­lio. Their posi­tion on our buy list might have changed since we rec­om­mend­ed them. Just start with the stocks rec­om­mend­ed after you become a mem­ber.
4. If one of the stocks we add breach­es one of our sell con­di­tions, we will sell it from our port­fo­lio and you’ll get an email advis­ing of the trade. Again, you can copy our trades, but seek finan­cial advice before mak­ing any deci­sions. And please check your Rule #1 price (see Trad­ing Guide­lines).
5. If you come across any QAV ter­mi­nol­o­gy that you don’t under­stand (eg Rule 1, 3PTL, Pos­si­bles, etc), please review our ter­mi­nol­o­gy guide or just email us for clar­i­fi­ca­tion.

That’s it for today! 

If we decide to buy or sell some­thing, we’ll let you know.
