The New Zealand government invests through the NZ Super Fund to ensure it can maintain Superannuation payments over the long term. By using a growth style fund consisting of 80% growth assets, and 20% income assets, they aim to grow a pot of money as large as they can to assist with the governments future obligations. Despite debates about eligibility age of government super, income-testing, contribution pauses, and investment strategies, the NZ Super Fund has been performing well since inception, and so I wanted to learn more. I also wanted to know if they would be the first sovereign wealth fund to acquire Bitcoin.

Adriel Yong, Head of Investments at Ascend Network, and Jeremy Au assessed Southeast Asia's low VC fund performance (median 0.4X returns vs. USA (1X) and India (1.3x). They discussed VCs shifting towards more realistic and localized investment strategies, while also taking into account growing geopolitical USA vs. China tensions with their resulting trade and economic impacts on countries like Singapore, Indonesia and Vietnam. They explored a range of strategies: shift towards earlier-stage investments, private debt, exploring less saturated/ underpriced markets like Malaysia, increased focus on consumer categories, "rightsizing" towards smaller fund sizes, pushing for complex yet needed secondary transactions, instituting more disciplined investment practices and managing capital better.

Shiyan Koh, Managing Partner of  Hustle Fund, and ​​Jeremy Au talked about three main themes: 1. USA VC vs. Southeast Asia Fund Performance: Bain's 2023 private equity report shows that Southeast Asia's VC returns have been lower over the past decade, with median LP distributions of 0.4X for Southeast Asia, China 0.6X, Europe 0.7X, USA 1X and India 1.3X. Shiyan attributed this due to the oversupply of capital - despite an order of magnitude increase in venture capital into Southeast Asia, this influx has not led to a proportional increase in scalable, successful companies, thus leading to inflated valuations and reduced returns​​. 2. SGX & IDX Capital Market Challenges: Jeremy and Shiyan examined the hurdles faced by Southeast Asian companies in accessing capital markets. Jeremy noted the low liquidity on local exchanges, with turnover rates at 32% in Singapore, 19% in Indonesia, and 73% in the Philippines, compared to the New York Stock Exchange's 103%​​. Shiyan emphasized that local regulatory constraints, such as the Singapore Stock Exchange's requirement for profitability (to protect retail investors), deter many tech startups, prompting them to seek international listings, particularly in the US, where they can list at higher valuations despite ongoing losses​​. They also discussed the role of capital controls in limiting retail investors' access to offshore equities in China and India, driving demand for domestic listings​​. 3. Post-AI "Good Jobs": Jeremy and Shiyan examined the impact of AI on Southeast Asia's labor markets, focusing on how integrating AI with lower-cost labor could create a competitive advantage against purely AI-driven models in the US​​. Shiyan suggested that developing AI-native companies could drive innovation in service sectors like call centers and business process outsourcing (BPO). They also touched on the concept of the “iron rice bowl”—a metaphor for job security and stability in traditional sectors, such as government-related roles, which might be less affected by AI​​. They noted that while AI could make some roles obsolete, particularly those involving repetitive tasks, it might also open new opportunities by automating routine aspects of jobs, thus enhancing overall productivity. Jeremy and Shiyan also talked about the importance of mid-sized companies for talent recycling, AI's role in the creative fields, and how global economic trends impact founder fundraising in the region.

Today's episode is a colonoMoneyScope as we dig deep into the basics of investment strategy. But we've already laid the foundation (in previous episodes) and the hard work is done, and we are now moving onto a necessary procedure for the preventive care of your investment portfolio. It's important to understand why we invest and why it matters in our lives, why fear and risk are not necessarily bad things, the differences between investing and gambling, and the inherently speculative nature of investments. After that, you'll learn about financial assets, the ins and outs of stocks and bonds, the efficient market hypothesis, and the two risk types that you need to understand before investing. We also discuss diversification, passive investing and active investing, the two key investment vehicles, and everything you need to know about investment costs. With the wealth of information that we cover in this episode, and with far less discomfort than the standard colonoscopy, we deem this colonoMoneyScope operation a resounding success!   Key Points From This Episode: Why we invest; why it's important. (0:03:35) Addressing fear and risk: a prevalent theme throughout the episode. (0:07:16) Investing versus gambling, and why it's important to know the difference.

(0:15:18) Everything you need to know about financial assets. (0:21:35) The ins and outs of stocks and bonds. (0:31:09) Understanding the efficient-market hypothesis. (0:38:26) The two risks that matter for investing, and how diversification fits in. (0:46:18) A brief recap of everything we've covered so far.

Nizar Tarhuni heads up research for PitchBook, which is a Morningstar affiliate. PitchBook is a premier provider of data on public and private markets. We're going to focus a little bit more on private markets today because this topic is aligned with what we've been talking about recently at Morningstar relating to the evolving investor. The concept there is it's not traditional financial outcomes, it's also nonfinancial outcomes. It's also not just public markets, it's private markets. It's another important dimension that advisors have to manage on behalf of their clients.BackgroundBioVenture Capital, Public, and Private Companies“Battle of the Funds: Do VC Specialists Outperform Generalists?” by Leah Hodgson, PitchBook, Sept. 21, 2023.“Quantitative Perspectives: US Market Insights, Q3 2023,” PitchBook, Aug. 10, 2023.“Analyzing the IPO Market Outlook: Examining Current Market Conditions to Highlight Potential Next Steps for VC-Backed IPOs,” PitchBook, Sept. 7, 2023.Performance TrendsPitchBook IndexesQ3 2023 PitchBook-NVCA Venture MonitorReturn Smoothing“Return Smoothing in Private Markets: Estimating the True Volatility of Private Market Returns,” PitchBook, June 4, 2021.Strategy and Manager Selection“Predicting Performance: How Persistent Are Private Fund Returns?” PitchBook, Aug. 26, 2023.“Allocator Solutions: Evaluating Persistence in Fund Performance,” PitchBook, Aug. 24, 2023.PitchBook PE Barometer

How do you properly analyze mutual fund performance? Does the historical performance of a fund give you the full picture? The short answer is no. I’ll answer the “why” in this episode of Making Finance Fun. I’ll talk about benchmarks and tracking error. I’ll compare actively managed funds, passively managed funds, and bond funds. The goal of this episode is to give you context to be able to judge the performance of any mutual fund. Don’t miss it!  Outline of This Episode [0:42] Mutual Fund Performance [3:20] Passively managed/index funds [4:18] What is tracking error? [7:09] Compare a mutual fund to its proper benchmark [10:01] Actively managed domestic (US) stock mutual funds [16:35] Bond mutual fund benchmarks Passively managed funds and tracking error When people ask me about performance, they’re generally asking about actively managed mutual funds. They don’t exist to surpass or beat an index—but simply to copy it. If you're looking at their performance, it should mirror the underlying index it’s trying to track and copy (i.e. S&P 500 or the Dow Jones). There shouldn’t be much of a performance difference.  But tracking error might creep in. What is tracking error? Let’s say—hypothetically—that this year the Dow Jones averaged a 10% annual return. Your mutual fund that’s copying the index only returned 9%. That’s a 1% tracking error. Tracking error should be very small—almost completely unnoticeable. But a passive fund won’t perform exactly the same as the index they’re tracking. Just keep this in mind as you’re analyzing passive mutual funds. You need to compare a mutual fund to its proper benchmark If there’s one thing that you take away from this episode, let it be this: as you’re analyzing actively managed mutual funds, do not analyze them on a standalone basis. You HAVE to compare them to the proper benchmark (for this discussion, I use “benchmark” and “index” interchangeably). You can’t compare a large-cap stock fund to a small-cap index. You can’t compare a bond mutual fund to the Dow Jones. They are two completely different things. It’s like comparing gas mileage in a Toyota Prius to a Dodge Ram. It won’t help you.  Actively managed domestic (US) stock mutual funds You can look at the average annual return to gain some perspective—but don’t put too much weight into it. Why? Because they ALL say “Past performance does not guarantee future results.” They’re not lying to you. You can look at historical performance, but it doesn’t mean it will be indicative of the future. What should you look at? The “style box.” According to Investopedia, “A style box is a graphical representation of a mutual fund's characteristics.” It’s a box with smaller boxes inside it. Each box represents a type of stock in one of three categories: Value stocks (under-valued, like Dollar Tree) and growth stocks (a company that’s growing like Tesla, Netflix, etc.). In the middle, you have a blend of both (i.e. Caterpillar).  It’s a simple tool that tells you where the mutual fund fits into the style box to analyze against the proper benchmark. If you buy a large-cap value mutual fund, you don’t want to compare it against a large-cap growth index. You want to compare it against a large-cap value index. It gives you the proper perspective and helps you look at the “style” of your mutual fund. The whole point? If you’re looking for a pure growth mutual fund, compare it to a pure growth index. The style box can help you do that.  Bond mutual fund benchmarks People are often really confused by bonds. The most popular bond index is the US Aggregate Bond Index from Barclays. There are also corporate bonds, municipal bonds, government bonds, etc. There are high-yield, triple-A rated, etc. If you’re looking at a high-yield bond fund, don’t compare it against the Barclays AGG index—compare it to a high-yield index. If you’re looking at a short-term index, don’t compare it to a long-term index. It won’t give you any relevant information. You can’t just look at whatever mutual fund you want and say, “Oh, it averaged 8% annually for the last 30 years.” That doesn’t tell you the risk you're taking. It doesn’t tell you what performance you can expect in the future. You need more perspective to find out how it will perform in changing market cycles. It’s just like how you need to listen to the whole episode to understand the full depth of the information I’m sharing!  Resources & People Mentioned Tracking Error Style Box Vanguard ETFs Vanguard S&P 500 ETF Bond benchmarks Connect With Rockie Website On Twitter: @AnxiousAdvisor On LinkedIn Subscribe to the show on the app of your choice Show notes by PODCAST FAST TRACK https://www.podcastfasttrack.com
