Portfolio Amendment – Active Growth Portfolio

We expect RIO to be hit on open this morning on broader commodity weakness overnight. Having trimmed BHP from a ~11% prevailing weight back to an 8% target early last month, we are now recycling the capital into Rio Tinto following an aggressive pullback, inline with our view of adding quality commodity exposure into weakness. Risk/reward looks appealing below $150.

23/10/2026 09:27

Blackstone (NYSE: BX) $US118.75

Blackstone (BX) delivered a mixed third-quarter result overnight, with distributable earnings beating expectations but softer fee-related earnings, real estate fees and deployment highlighting the impact of higher rates on transaction activity. The shares initially fell before reversing to trade up ~8% by the close, with the market ultimately focusing on strong inflows and a still-healthy medium-term outlook.

Question asked 17/10/2026

YEAR TO DATE

Good Morning, Well, it has sometimes felt like the "year of waiting" this year. I'm not a day trader, so I suppose I'm more susceptible to the highs and lows by holding stocks. But the All Ords began the year at 9208 and went through 8686, 9430, 8571 and 9445 to be at 8921 as I write, down about 3%. That to me is very volatile. Is this our market now or do you see things settling down into 2027? Thanks gents.
