Observations from February

Equity markets in both Australia and the US recorded their fourth straight month of gains. Outside of the well-documented US technology sector, Japanese shares continue to lead the way with the equity market (Nikkei 225) crossing new record highs last seen in 1989.

Locally, a ‘better than feared’ earnings season, softer inflation and positive global leads assisted performance. The strongest sectors within the ASX 200 were Consumer Discretionary and Information Technology, whilst Energy was the worst performer.

One of our core pillars at Entrust is education, and sharing knowledge with our client community. Our goal with 3 Minute Tech is to provide quick and to the point videos to explain sometimes technically challenging topics in simple and easy to understand language.

There are two main types of contributions – concessional and non-concessional. Following the release of Average Weekly Ordinary Time Earnings (AWOTE) data, the required increase has occurred such that the contribution caps will be lifted from 1 July 2024.

This month we showcase our experienced Private Wealth Adviser, Phil George.

We understand that referring Entrust to a family member or friend represents trust that the service we provide has an important role to play.

Please do not hesitate to forward this edition of "Monthly Musings" to those who you believe may benefit, or alternatively they are welcome to contact us.

That completes this month's edition of "Monthly Musings". Please do not hesitate to contact us if we can be of assistance.

Until next month,

Kind regards from all the team at Entrust
