This edition arrives as markets enter the final quarter of 2026 facing higher interest rates for longer. Renewed tension in the Middle East has pushed energy prices back up, and the RBA and US Federal Reserve have both responded by raising rates. That has unsettled shares and bonds alike, but we see it as a reset in the cost of money rather than the start of a downturn. The global economy is still growing and company earnings remain strong, which is why we stay the course.
What has changed is the opportunity in income. After this year's sell-off, high-quality bonds offer their most attractive yields in years, and cash is again paying more than inflation. Our approach for Q4 is to rebuild reliable income, be more selective in where we take risk, and broaden diversification so portfolios are not relying on any single asset to do the heavy lifting.
