July 2023 – Each month, La Trobe Financial produces a series of short videos. Watch now to stay up to date with our business, our portfolios and what we are seeing in the economy. This month, we provide an update on our portfolio performance, as well as share our current thinking on the property market and economy.
One of La Trobe Financial’s Three Golden Rules of Investment is “Patience”. While this may seem overly simple, it encapsulates the importance of bringing a long-term perspective to investing with planning and regular reviews.
With 12 interest rates hikes under the RBA’s belt over the past 15 months, the froth has certainly come off lending volumes in Australia. In tandem with Australian property prices, the volume of new credit being written in the market reverted to normal levels from their COVID-19 pandemic induced highs.
The fastest rate hiking cycle in our nation’s history has had wildly different outcomes for different groups.
The backbone of the U.S. economy isn’t Wall Street – it’s the 200,000-plus middle market companies quietly driving one-third of American jobs and 40% of its GDP. These businesses form the engine room of American growth, and now investors can tap directly into their momentum.
In this update, we look at the late 1980s and the pivotal decision of La Trobe Financial to enter retail asset management at that moment. The question of when a manager began a strategy, and why, matters. Because for those of us who have been around long enough, you’ll recognise that there’s nothing new under the sun.
Every so often, pivotal moments occur that shift a company or sector. Back in 1952, La Trobe Financial was founded when institutional investment was sourced to provide loans to returned servicemen to purchase a home. These were high quality borrowers who could demonstrate employment or running a successful business but were falling short on strict bank guidelines relating to continuity of income or level of savings.
