What Mattered Today

The ASX 200 closed up in a decent session, shrugging off the RBA’s move and the immediate Iran-related volatility and instead refocusing on underlying fundamentals. With the RBA firmly in the rear-view mirror following Tuesday's hike, attention has shifted squarely to tonight's US Federal Reserve decision.

Question asked 14/03/2026

Thoughts on PE1 as a vehicle to get exposure to SpaceX

With rising chatter over the likely public listing of SpaceX is MM keen to get exposure to what may be the largest ipo in history! If so do you see PE1, Pengana Private Equity Trust as a good vehicle to gain exposure? I’ve read that SpaceX is now 14% of the fund but is otherwise diversified across 550 private companies also including Anthropic and OpenAi, other ipo likely exciting candidates.

Question asked 14/03/2026

Broker Consensus

Hi Team, Sometimes when a share price changes, the only reason you give is a broker company has upgraded or downgraded the company. Such as on Wednesday the AGL broker consensus rating the reason for the fall. I am just wondering how much do you factor these consensus ratings into your decision making. I can't help feeling that in many cases they are talking their own book. I suppose some algorithms could also be looking for these changes and it becomes self fulfilling. Regards Ray
