What Mattered Today

The ASX went on a round trip today, rising early, giving it all back and trading lower through to midday before popping in the afternoon, closing almost flat for the session. The headline index masked another fairly weak session underneath, with the banks and Healthcare under pressure while Energy and Materials did most of the heavy lifting with the Big Australian and Rio keeping the index afloat accounting for +30pts of gain between the two heavyweights.

Question asked 04/09/2026

AAIG IPO

I note in an earlier article (29/22/2024) that there was some interest in pursuing a class action against AAIG with regards to their advertised IPO. It seems that I too was also stooged and am now seeking options to recover my investment. Is there a mailing list or forum through which I can make contact with investors in the same position as myself to ascertain where I stand and what options are available to me.

Ask James

Question asked 04/09/2026

Is MM holding Bank Hybrids till the redemption date?

Is MM planning on holding the Bank Hybrids you have in the Income Portfolio to the redemption date? I have several Bank Hybrids in my super and my stockbroker is suggesting I should consider selling them while they are above par and put the money into other fixed interest assets like corporate bonds. When and where will you move your Bank Hybrid money to?
