    SB Talks: A Goldilocks Moment for Markets?

    In this episode of SB Talks, Vincent O'Neill and Chief Investment Officer Nick Ryder explore whether the US economy is entering a "Goldilocks" phase, with moderating inflation, softer employment data and exceptionally strong corporate earnings easing pressure on the Federal Reserve. They discuss what the latest US and Australian inflation figures mean for interest rates, why markets have become more optimistic about the outlook for central banks, and the key risks that remain. Closer to home, they examine the RBA's latest decision, the early themes emerging from reporting season, and what weakening housing market activity and slowing mortgage demand could mean for the Australian economy in the months ahead.   Music provided by: Autumn Trumpet Background Corporate by LesFM | https://lesfm.net/ Music promoted by https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/ Creative Commons CC BY 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/   Any advice contained in this publication is general advice only and does not take into consideration the reader's personal circumstances.

    Meet the Investor Series: Candace Myung, Oaktree Capital Management

    In this episode of Meet the Investor, Joey Mouracadeh sits down with Candace Myung, Managing Director in Oaktree Capital Management's Special Situations Group, part of one of the world's leading alternative investment managers with over US$220 billion in assets under management. What exactly is a "special situation"? And why has Oaktree built one of its flagship strategies around it? Candace explains how the strategy has evolved beyond its distressed investing roots to invest across debt and equity, using bespoke structures to capitalise on opportunities created by company-specific challenges rather than relying solely on broader market cycles. The discussion also covers Oaktree's approach to downside protection, operational value creation and where special situations may sit within a private markets portfolio.   Please refer to Brookfield disclosures here.   Music provided by: Autumn Trumpet Background Corporate by LesFM | https://lesfm.net/ Music promoted by https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/ Creative Commons CC BY 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/   Any advice contained in this publication is general advice only and does not take into consideration the reader's personal circumstances.

    SB Talks: Iranian NACHO and Jalapeño Chips

    This week on SB Talks, CEO Vincent O'Neill and CIO Nick Ryder unpack the key themes driving markets, from rising geopolitical tensions in the Strait of Hormuz through to the next phase of the AI arms race. They discuss a proposed US shipping toll and what renewed instability in the region could mean for global energy markets, before turning to how major technology companies are increasingly developing their own AI chips to reduce costs and lessen their reliance on Nvidia. The conversation also touched on growing concerns that the surge in AI infrastructure and data centre investment could add to inflation pressures in the short term, even as productivity gains remain a longer-term benefit.   Music provided by: Autumn Trumpet Background Corporate by LesFM | https://lesfm.net/ Music promoted by https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/ Creative Commons CC BY 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
