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,

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.
