This week we would like to offer our thoughts on certain megathemes that are impacting investment markets. Firstly, credit where it is due, this is a topic inspired by an oped in the AFR by James Thomson who summarises what he sees the recent bid by Cannon-Brookes for AGL represents. He categorizes the bid as representing three broad megathemes: 1) Energy Transition; 2) Private Capital; and 3) The Billionaire Activist. While we broadly agree with this categorisation, we would like to give our take on them and add in a final component that we feel is missing: the politicisation of everything.

Infrastructure spending was needed prior to the ongoing pandemic and it is now likely to accelerate as governments around the world look to drive economic activity.
With recent extreme weather events and Greta Thunberg’s proclamations that the end is near, renewable energy is currently a hot topic. Of course, the trend away from fossil fuels has been in train for some time, especially from oil and coal. These trends are only likely to accelerate from here onwards as improvements in technological know-how and greater political pressures gather pace.
This week we would like to revisit that age-old topic, and perhaps one of our recurring favourites, asset allocation. This is a topic made especially pertinent given the unprecedented low-interest rates combined with high valuations across both equities and fixed income.
Guy Carson, of Quick Brown Fox Asset Management and the TAMIM All Cap Value strategy, takes an in-depth look at one aspect of the property boom that is often misunderstood by market commentators.
