QAV Light Weekly Update — 04 May 2026

Hap­py Mon­day, Light Brigade!

And a big wel­come to all of our new mem­bers. It’s a pub­lic hol­i­day in QLD today (Labour Day) but I’m work­ing any­way, because pod­cast­ers don’t deserve any days off.

Market This Week (All Ordinaries)

Mar­ket had a pret­ty aver­age week, up around 0.4% (not sure why that chart says oth­er­wise) despite some chop­pi­ness mid-week. It’s down this morn­ing… “ASX opens flat ahead of Tuesday’s RBA rate call”, says the AFR.

Let’s get into our port­fo­lio updates!

All the best,
Cameron

PORTFOLIO UPDATE

All Time

Look­ing at where we’ve land­ed, our port­fo­lio is sit­ting at 19.39% while the ASX 200 bench­mark is at 10.13% — so we’re still track­ing about dou­ble mar­ket, just as the plan says we should.

Financial Year to Date

Our QAV port­fo­lio is sit­ting at 27.52% for the finan­cial year, which puts us 4–5 TIMES the ASX 200. Pret­ty sol­id year for us, which gives us a lot of head­room for the inevitable not-so-good years. That’s how QAV works — you build up a lead in some years, lose some steam in oth­er years, and man­age to come out ahead in the long run.

Last 30 Days

Our QAV Light port­fo­lio hit 3.93% for the month while the SPDR 200 man­aged just 1.74%.
