![]() | Growth DriversAssets that are expected to deliver higher rates of return over time with higher levels of associated volatility (risk). This predominantly comprises equities but also includes other assets that are highly correlated to equities such as listed property and infrastructure. |
![]() | DiversifiersAssets that generate additional real returns, with performance that is typically uncorrelated to the growth drivers and preservers within the portfolio.Importantly, they are a source of portfolio diversification away from equity market and interest rate risks, such as liquid alternatives and private markets. |

Global share markets rose during August 2025, driven by expectations of a US Federal Reserve (Fed) rate cut in September following weak US jobs data. The US economy added only 73,000 jobs in July, far below expectations, with revisions showing significant overstatements in May and June. Unemployment edged up to 4.2%, while inflation remained elevated, with headline inflation at 2.7% and core inflation at 3.1%. Fed Chair Jerome Powell hinted at a rate cut but warned of inflation risks from President Trump’s tariff policies. Meanwhile, the Bank of England cut rates to 4.00%, its fifth reduction since August 2024, amid rising inflation. The European Central Bank and Bank of Japan held rates steady, with inflation easing slightly in Japan but remaining entrenched.
The Australian market outperformed globally, supported by the Reserve Bank of Australia’s (RBA) decision to cut rates to 3.60%. Inflation in Australia continued to decline, with core inflation at 2.7%, within the RBA’s target range. Major miners like BHP and Rio Tinto, along with banks such as Westpac and NAB, posted strong gains, while Commonwealth Bank fell due to profit-taking. Companies who disappointed in their earnings update, like CSL and James Hardie performed very poorly. The Australian dollar rose against the US dollar but weakened against other major currencies.
Corporate earnings were mixed globally, with positive results from companies like Disney, Uber, and Exxon Mobil, while Walmart and Berkshire Hathaway disappointed. Trade tensions eased as the US and China extended their tariff truce, but geopolitical risks persisted, including heightened tensions in Ukraine and the Middle East.
Looking ahead, US recession risk has been lowered to 25% due to improved trade negotiations and resilient consumer spending. Non-US equities continue to appear relatively more attractively valued and could be a beneficiary of a weaker USD. Government bonds and alternatives continue to offer diversification benefits. Private credit and infrastructure remain resilient, and the Australian dollar shows medium-term value despite recent volatility.
The Portfolio experienced another solid month of returns. Primarily driven by returns from equity markets and liquid alternatives, credit also contributed positively. Australian equities outperformed global markets. Emerging markets contributed positively to returns, outperforming developed markets.
Manager alpha was mixed for the month. For the global managers, Antipodes outperformed, reversing last month’s weakness, while Hyperion and Fairlight underperformed. The equal weight US equities ETF outperformed broader global equities and currency hedged ETFs outperformed as the AUD declined. In Australian equities, the Australian Equity Managed Portfolio lagged the index slightly. The Russell Investments Global Listed Real Assets Fund had a good month driven by returns in global listed real estate securities.
Liquid alternatives within the Atrium Alternatives Fund provided a strong, positive return as gold hit new highs and One River benefited from their equity and commodity exposures.
Rates and credit strategies were positive, with credit spreads compressing further. The Russell Investments International Bond Fund had a solid month while the Atrium Enhanced Fixed Income Fund also advanced with the Kapstream Absolute Return Income Fund contributing. US Treasury positioning added value as yields fell.
There were no meaningful manager position changes during the month. Tail risk hedging was increased via the Atrium Alternatives Fund as we head into a seasonally volatile time of the year, and the risk of a correction rises with markets surging and hitting new highs.
The outlook remains positive for risk assets in the medium term as markets embrace lower cash rates and continued fiscal stimulus is seen in various forms, including lower corporate tax rates in the US and looser government debt constraints in Europe. In the short-term, we expect volatility to rise from very low levels as often happens around October.
