Happy Monday, Light Brigade!
I hope you’re all safe from the fires and staying out of the heat. Speaking of heat, yesterday Chrissy and I went to GOMA to see the Olafur Eliasson exhibition, which was amazing. Here’s a photo of his sun, which is something to behold, and is symbolic of what it feels like around Australia at the moment. If you’re a fan of Buckminster Fuller, the exhibition is definitely worth checking out.

Anyway, let’s see where the portfolios are at this week! Hopefully everything is… sunny.
All the best,
Cameron

PORTFOLIO UPDATE
In the last 30 days, the Light portfolio was +3% vs the index which was ‑0.6%.
Our most impressive return for the last 30 days is mining services company MAH which is +27% over the last 30 days and +50% since we added it on 3/11/2025.
For the last 12 months, the Light portfolio is +40% vs the index +8%. In other words — QUINTUPLE MARKET. Insane. It won’t last, of course, But it should give us a nice buffer for when things balance out. I’ve learned that over the years. We have periods of terrific out-performance, and that’s balanced by periods of under-performance and average performance. Over the long term, we aim for an average of double market.

Since inception (Feb 2022), the Light portfolio is +21% vs the index +10%.

FOR NEW MEMBERS
If you’re new to QAV Light, here’s a quick reminder on how it works.
- We send you an email every Monday advising which stocks we are adding to our Light portfolio.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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).
- 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.
