RBA Holds Cash Rate Steady—What’s Next? In the most recent announcement, the Reserve Bank of Australia decided to hold the cash rate steady at 4.35%, providing stability as inflation continues to be managed. This decision offers a moment of certainty for borrowers, with many economists predicting potential rate cuts on the horizon, though timing remains uncertain. During this pause, investors have a valuable opportunity to reassess their investment strategies. One effective approach to navigate the current high-interest environment and protect against inflation is investing in Australian mortgage funds. At Fundsec, we provide an opportunity for hedging against inflation, offering benefits from ongoing inflationary pressures. With a net annualized return of 9.14% in Q2 2024, our fund consistently delivers strong returns with a focus on risk mitigation. #FUNDSEC #RBA #INTERESTRATES

QUARTERLY PERFORMANCE INSIGHT #6 - Investment Performance Comparison Here's a snapshot of returns in comparison between FUNDSEC Mortgage Fund (FMF) and other other investments. FMF looks set to offer steady returns over 3 months, 1 year, and 5 years, outperforming both Centuria and CBA Term Deposit in the long run. Centuria Balanced Bond Fund shows higher short-term returns but will lag the long term, while CBA Term Deposit offers a fixed return over 1 year, providing stability but lower returns compared to FMF. While these returns are gathered from the latest report, it is important to note that this is not a 'like for like' comparison. Instead, it showcases how the FMF compares with Australia-wide property value index, term deposit, and a contrasting diversified assets fund. Each investment option offers unique benefits and considerations, catering to different risk appetites and investment objectives.

QUARTERLY PERFORMANCE INSIGHT #5 - Portfolio Split This quarter, we have observed a slight adjustment in the portfolio split, with a decrease in the allocation of 1st RM by 1% and an increase in the allocation of 2nd RM by 1%. This shift indicates our ongoing efforts to optimise the portfolio balance, ensuring prudent risk management while maximizing returns.

QUARTERLY PERFORMANCE INSIGHT #4 - Average Loan Size vs Average LVR Our latest quarterly performance update reveals an average loan size of $393K and an average Loan-to-Value Ratio (LVR) of 54% on our current portfolio. It is a slight decline from the last quarter loan size and average LVR however reflects our strategic approach to lending, with a focus on maintaining a healthy balance between loan size and asset value, ensuring stability and security in our investments.
