Global concerns impacting the Australian market and a mixed month for TAIM Funds

Global growth fears began to take hold during May, fuelled by escalating trade tensions between China and the US. Wall Street had its worst May since 2010, with all major indices declining by greater than -6.5%. Thanks mainly to a post-election relief rally in the financial sector, the Australian share market fared better with the ASX200 managing a gain of +1.1% for the month.
Both TAIM Funds took their first step backwards for the year, with our leading Momentum Fund retreating by a modest -0.2% during the month.
Our Leveraged Fund came off its record highs this month after its extraordinary start to the calendar year. The Fund is still maintaining an outperformance of +15% in the 20 months since inception.
After a great start to the year on global share markets, investors now seem to be weighing up where to next. Growth and trade will remain critical issues, with pressure rising on interest rates in many major economies.

Speaking on Wholesale Investor’s […]
The asset class where the market has no vote
Litigation funding returns are decided in a courtroom, not a cycle. Knightsbridge’s Head of Capital is careful to call that a different risk rather than a lower one, and his answer to it is spread, not concentration. Most alternative assets still answer to something. Property answers to rates. Private credit answers to defaults. Even the […]
The listing fee vendors pay whether the house sells or not
Australia’s property portals collect more than $2 billion a year while national listings sit flat. An Australian-built AI platform is targeting the economics, not just the interface. An Australian vendor listing a home pays a vendor-paid advertising fee on top of agency commission. Rama Dwarapudi, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of RealSearch, puts a typical […]
