MST Financial

Yesterday the MST Financial team spent a meaningful day volunteering with Two Good Co preparing meals for women’s shelters and supporting this incredible organisation’s mission to empower women with lived experiences of trauma and domestic violence. It was a fantastic initiative, and we were honoured to play a small role in the important work Two Good Co does every day. The experience was both rewarding and eye-opening, reminding us of the impact we can have when we come together to support those in need. Two Good Co also produce high quality, delicious catering meals for many corporate organisations, including MST. We highly recommend Two Good Co for any of your catering needs – please reach out to them for your next catering event. Thank you to Jeanne Chan and everyone at Two Good Co who made this day possible! #MSTFinancial #GivingBack #TwoGoodCo #CommunityImpact #VolunteerDay

We're delighted to share highlights from our recent MST Financial Director & Executive Forum, hosted in partnership with MinterEllison in Sydney last night.

MinterEllison's Daniel Scotti provided valuable insights on upcoming merger clearance reforms, while Hasan Tevfik, MST Financial's Senior Strategist, presented a compelling equity strategy update titled "Spooky Strategy", in recognition of Halloween, examining market dynamics amid political shifts and rising discount rates.

“There are holes in the Aussie profits bucket...our analysis of profit and loss statements suggests there are operating cost issues for the Industrials and revenue concerns for the Commodity producers.” MST Financial Senior Strategy Analyst, Hasan Tevfik is quoted in The Australian sharing his insights on corporate earnings season. #MSTFinancial #finance #banking #marketcommentary #strategist #strategy #economy #marketsoutlook #earnings #reportingseason https://lnkd.in/ggjyTVaX

Yesterday MST Financial hosted a Making Sense of Markets Webinar where MST Sandstone Strategist John Lockton and MST Sales Executive Jarrod Bakker provided a comprehensive analysis of the recent drivers of market volatility.   "Amazing what a 0.25% interest rate rise in Japan can do to global markets... volatility earlier this week shot to levels not seen since the covid crisis". We think the initial investor repositioning across global markets is now behind us. In any case, the direct impact on Australian markets this week has been very modest. Our Making Sense of Markets webinars are designed to assist corporate clients in understanding and navigating volatile market conditions. Our analysts provide clarity and guidance, analyze key market drivers, offer strategic insights, and equip clients with the knowledge to make informed financial decisions. 🌍📈 You can watch the webinar recording on the MST Access website here: https://lnkd.in/gVZxUvsc #MSTFinancial #makingsenseofmarkets #webinar #finance #investing #ASX
