What’s in store for the Australian markets?

The ifa Show

On a new episode of the ifa show, host Neil Griffiths is joined by special guest and head of asset manager Milford’s Australian business, Kristine Brooks.

Neil and Kristine look at the Australian markets over the last 12-18 months and what’s to come as the country emerges from the COVID-19 pandemic.

“It’s been an incredible period,” Kristine said.

“I think if you had have asked me at the start of the pandemic where we were really starting to get a lot of noise around the seriousness of this virus, I would not have anticipated the market outcome that we’ve actually seen unfold. I would have expected a lot more volatility and potentially under performance… “

Kristine said that at Milford, the team has been committed to clients’ investment performances.

“We also turn our sights to downside protection and making sure that our portfolios are positioned well, if we are to hit periods of volatility, “ she said.

“For that reason, we’ve definitely seen some strong out-performance over the period which is great.” Milford disclaimer: Equity Trustees Limited (“Equity Trustees”) (ABN 46 004 031 298), AFSL 240975, is the Responsible Entity for the Milford Investment Funds.
