Latest News & Updates For Invesco WS Aus Share

Invesco WS Aus Share Fund Commentary September 30, 2023

During the month of September, equity markets in Australia posted negative returns with the ASX 300 declining as the higher for longer sentiment gained momentum. Despite this, the energy sector demonstrated resilience, while real estate and information technology stocks performed poorly. Towards the end of the month, fresh highs for the US 10-year yield and rising oil prices weighed on ASX 300. The CPI figure announced in August rose to 5.2% in line with expectations, while core inflation fell to 5.5%. At the same time, retail sales increased slightly during the month of August and the unemployment rate remained steady.

In September, Momentum detracted slightly, while Value and Quality had a positive impact on performance over the month. On the other hand, stock specific effects, which are not attributable to any proprietary factor, had a negative impact.

Impact from active sector weights, which are a by-product of the multi-factor optimisation process, was positive over the month. Here, both our overweight in the Energy sector and our underweight in Property Trusts had a positive impact, while our underweight in the Consumer Staples sector contributed negatively to results.

Contributors to performance

Over September, the Australian multi-factor model performed positively. Value outperformed Quality and Momentum, but all three factors ended the month in positive territory. Within Momentum, Earnings Momentum outperformed Price Momentum. Consumer discretionary, health care and IT were the best performing sectors.

Within our Australian universe, the highest rated stocks identified by our multi-factor model outperformed the broader market, while the least attractively rated stocks underperformed.

Historical Performance Commentary

Performance Commentary - August 31, 2023

During the month of August, equity markets in Australia posted negative returns with the ASX 300 declining due to weak sector performances from utilities, consumer staples and industrials. The Reserve Bank of Australia opted to hold interest rates at 4.1% citing the fact that past increases had shown signs of cooling demand. It is now forecasting inflation falling back to target in late 2025. In addition, Australia’s unemployment rate rose by 20bps from 3.5% to 3.7%, while the Q2 year-on-year wage growth slowed to 3.6%, below estimates of 3.7%.

In August, Value detracted slightly, while Momentum and Quality had a positive impact on performance over the month. On the other hand, stock specific effects, which are not attributable to any proprietary factor, had a negative impact.

Impact from active sector weights, which are a by-product of the multi-factor optimisation process, was positive over the month. Here, both our overweight in the Energy sector and our underweight on the Health Care sector had a positive impact, while our underweight on the Gold sector contributed negatively to results.

Contributors to performance

Over August, the Australian multi-factor model posted positive results, with Quality, Momentum and Value ending the month in positive territory. All three factors showed a constant positive performance over the whole month. Among the factors, Quality was the strongest in the model.

Within our Australian universe, the highest rated stocks identified by our multi-factor model outperformed the broader market, while the least attractively rated stocks underperformed.

  • SMSF Mate is a unique website because it has ideas about how to approach SMSFs, insurance and other financial topics that come straight from first hand experience. It's much more useful than what you find on all the other financial websites that just offer generic info that you could easily get on the ATO's website. It's also nice to know there's no financial incentive behind the information, it's legitimately there to help people understand self-managed super funds and how to get the most out of them, not to get an affiliate commission from a broker or other financial services provider. The investment product information is also incredibly useful, I've never seen this kind of functionality on any other website that let's you look at such a wide range of products, sort by what info is most interesting or important to you, and subscribe to updates for different funds and financial products all in one place. Definitely worth checking out if you own or are considering an SMSF!
