Over in the US on Tuesday, Wall St closed mostly lower following the release of the most recent consumer confidence survey that came in much weaker than expected. The S&P500 fell 0.47% for its fourth consecutive losing session while the Nasdaq declined 1.35%, but the Dow Jones ended the session up 0.37%. Escalating trade tensions are also weighing on investor sentiment and contributing to market uncertainty as investors weigh up the impacts of Trump's tariffs on Mexico and Canada which are set to be imposed next week.In Europe overnight, markets closed mixed in the region as corporate earnings and defence spend in the region remain a key focus for investors. The STOXX 600 rose 0.15%, Germany's DAX lost 0.13%, the French CAC fell 0.49%, and in the UK, the FTSE 100 ended the day up 0.11%.Across the APAC region on Tuesday, markets closed lower as investors await the full impact of Trump's tariffs on the region. Japan's Nikkei lost 1%, South Korea's Kospi Index lost 0.57% after South Korea's central bank unexpectedly cut rates in a bid to stimulate the slowing economy, and Hong Kong's Hang Seng lost 1.32%.The local market reversed Monday's gain to close 0.68% lower on Tuesday as a sharp sell-off in tech and discretionary stocks offset gains among utilities and staples stock. Investors have been very reactive to reporting season updates whilst also keeping an eye on valuations and movements out of the US, especially on the tariffs front.We had a slew of corporate results out yesterday that sparked mixed reactions among investors with sharp rises and falls reported in key share prices. Domino's Pizza shares tumbled over 10% after the leading global pizza maker swung to a loss in the first half amid $116m in one-off store closure related costs due to the company closing 205 loss-making stores.Johns Lyng Group was the worst performer yesterday with shedding over a quarter of its value as the share price plummeted over 30% after the company downgraded group earnings guidance. The building and restoration services provider across Aus and the US faced a challenging operating environment especially in Australia with benign weather conditions reducing the volume of insurance claims, while the US had project commencement delays impacting performance.And on the other hand, 2024 market darling Zip Co soared 14% yesterday on impressive 1H results including total transaction value up 23.9% to $6.2bn, lower bad debts, cash earnings more than doubling, increased growth in the US market and the company launched into the personal loans market in January.What to watch today:Ahead of the midweek session on the ASX, the SPI futures are anticipating the ASX will open the day down 0.30% tracking Wall Street's lower session overnight.On the commodities front this morning oil is trading 2.7% lower at US$68.83/barrel, gold is down 1.58% at US$2903/ounce and iron ore is up 0.06% at US$107.19/tonne.The Aussie dollar has weakened against the greenback to buy US$0.63, 94.39 Japanese Yen, 50.16 British Pence and 1 NZ$1.11 cents.Trading Ideas:Bell Potter has slightly decreased the 12-month price target on Adairs (ASX:ADH) from $2.85 to $2.65 but maintain a buy rating on the leading furniture retailer following the release of the company's first half results including revenue growth of 6.6% which was a good improvement from the last trading update however, the company's Focus on Furniture brand continues to weigh on results.And Trading Central has identified a bearish signal on Praemium (ASX:PPS) following the formation of a pattern over a period of 23-days which is roughly the same amount of time the share price may fall from the close of $0.78 to the range of $0.73 to $0.75 according to standard principles of technical analysis.

In this episode, originally featured on the ifa show podcast, Praemium's Chief Strategy Officer, Denis Orrock, dives into the evolution of wealth management and administration platforms. Denis discusses the Quality of Advice Review (QAR) and its potential impact on superfunds transitioning to advice-style models. He explores the balance between AI-generated advice and personal consultation and emphasises the importance of effective data integration within platforms. Tune in to learn how platforms like Praemium can adapt to changing advice landscapes and use technology to enhance the delivery of advice.
In this episode of the ifa podcast, host Maja Garaca Djurdjevic is joined by Denis Orrock, chief strategy officer of wealth management platform Praemium. Mr Orrock joins our host to discuss the evolving landscape of wealth management and administration platforms. He also touches on the government's response to the Quality of Advice Review (QAR) and how this might play out for the super funds. “I think the super funds moving to advice-style models will be interesting and how they scale their businesses for that. Are they fit-for-purpose for that today? Will they be reliant on digital or AI-generated advice versus personal advice?” And discusses a key issue for the industry around data integration. “The bigger impact for platforms is the data that sits within the platforms ... and how do we aggregate and standardise that data to provide advisers with a consolidated view of their customer.” Moreover, Mr Orrock discusses how wealth management platforms like Praemium can evolve to support the changes to the advice landscape on the back of the QAR, as well as how technology can help streamline and enhance the delivery of advice.
In this episode of the ifa podcast, host Maja Garaca Djurdjevic is joined by Matt van Dijk, general manager distribution Queensland/Northern Territory at Praemium. Mr van Dijk joins the show to discuss the unmet advice needs of high-net-worth investors, with recent Praemium research showing that as many as 53 per cent of these investors are in need of quality advice tailored to their unique advice needs. As the volume of HNW investors continues to grow beyond the $2.8 trillion of investable assets they currently hold, Mr van Dijk details these advice requirements and how advisers can respond. He also touches on the intergenerational wealth transfer and how advisers can support it. Namely, with HNW investors anticipating to transfer as much as $1.9 trillion to their children, the challenge for advisers is that over half are managing the inheritance themselves. As such, Mr van Dijk elaborates on what advisers should consider when looking to embed themselves in this transfer.

Our local market started the new trading week with a gain of 1.2%, supported by a strong session on Wall Street and in Europe on Friday.Sectors wise, tech stocks led the day's gains. Energy stocks also performed well after Brent oil prices jumped on Friday. Financials climbed about 1.4%, with three of the big four banks rising. Meanwhile, the healthcare sector dropped 0.5%. The best and worst ASX200 performers: BrainChip (ASX:BRN) surged 13.9%, following strong gains on the Nasdaq on Friday. BRN was not alone, other tech stocks also lifted, like Life360 (ASX:360), NOVONIX (ASX:NVX) and WiseTech Global (ASX:WTC). Building materials supplier, Boral (ASX:BLD) closed in the green also, up 6.2%. On the flip side, the worst performers included a2 Milk (ASX:A2M), Fisher & Paykel Healthcare (ASX:FPH) and Endeavour Group (ASX:EDV). The most traded stocks by Bell Direct clients yesterday included Sims (ASX:SGM), PayGroup (ASX:PYG), the BetaShares Australian Strong Bear Hedge Fund (ASX:BBOZ) and Whitehaven Coal (ASX:WHC).Moving to the US, all three benchmarks closed lower following a late selloff that wiped out some strong intraday gains. The Dow closed 200 points lower and the S&P500 and Nasdaq both declined 0.8%. What to watch today:Following the negative session in the US, the SPI futures are suggesting that our market will open 0.32% lower. Keep an eye on ANZ (ASX:ANZ) and Suncorp (ASX:SUN), after Suncorp accepted a $4.9 billion bid from ANZ to take over its banking business. ANZ is currently in a trading halt while it goes to its shareholders to raise $3.5 billion in additional funds to pay for the deal. This isn't expected to be completed for at least 12 months as it requires a number of regulatory approvals.In economic news, today sees the release of the minutes from June's monetary policy meeting held by the RBA. There are a number of Australian commodity companies reporting their Q4 results this week, including lithium player, Allkem (ASX:AKE) and oil companies Beach Energy (ASX:BPT) and Woodside Energy (ASX:WDS). Today, we'll hear from the largest company on the ASX, BHP Group (ASX:BHP). Other companies reporting today include HUB24 (ASX:HUB) and Ampol (ASX:ALD). In commodities, oil prices lifted, boosted by growing concerns over gas supply from Russia and a lower dollar. The gold price firmed, as the pullback in the dollar helped bullion recover some of its recent losses. The spot iron ore price trades 4.3% lower at US100 a tonne.Trading Ideas:Bell Potter have maintained its Buy rating on Whitehaven Coal (ASX:WHC). WHC reported unaudited financial year 2022 EBITDA of $3b and year end net cash of $1b, which Bell Potter highlighted was an outstanding result. The better than expected result was driven by record thermal coal prices and strong price realisation. Yesterday, WHC rose 5.6% off the back of these strong results. Trading Central has a bullish signal on investment advice company, Praemium (ASX:PPS) indicating that the stock price may rise from the close of $0.68 to the range of $0.87 - $0.91 in the next 53 days according to standard principals of technical analysis.

The latest market insights for your upcoming end of year client meetings. Damian Cilmi hosted this live webinar panel with Nikki Thomas, CFA of Magellan Financial Group, Paul Parsons of Northcape Capital and Charles Jamieson of Jamieson Coote Bonds to discuss the key market drivers for bonds, domestic and global equities over the remainder of this year and into 2023. Looking at inflation, interest rates and how to position a portfolio in these market conditions.Please note that this podcast was originally hosted in live webinar format, and makes reference to slides and charts. If you'd like to watch the video from the webinar, including the slide deck, you can stream it here on vimeo: https://vimeo.com/718187330
Praemium's Damian Cilmi speaks with Steve Jarrott, portfolio manager with Warakirri Asset Management, about agriculture as an asset class and the unique position of Australian agriculture against the backdrop of rising inflation, shifting global economies, and climate change. Steve speaks about the development of an agriculture REIT and agriculture investment as a key component of a diversified portfolio.
Damian Cilmi, Head of Investment Managers & Governance at Praemium and Anthony Kirkham, Head of Investment Management at Western Asset Management Australia discuss the implications of current inflation rates and their impact on the labour market, where interest rates might be headed, and why fixed income still matters in this shifting environment. Anthony shares how he is positioning his portfolios to deal with the outlook for the year ahead.
While it has become somewhat of a meme and investing trope that the first million is the hardest to make, there's no doubt that it is true. In fact, the advisers featured in this episode say it can take 35 years, but you have to invest $740 a month, every month, at a 6% annual compound rate. For those with a little less spare cash (or just starting out on their investing journey), a $53 investment every week into an ASX index fund could turn into just over a million dollars in 40 years. But that's not to say Australia isn't flush with millionaires already. According to research from Praemium, there were over 635,000 millionaires in Australia in 2021, climbing from 488,000 the year prior. Meanwhile, the Australian's annual Rich List found there are 131 billionaires in our country. So in this thematic episode, Livewire's Ally Selby was joined by Shaw and Partners' Felicity Thomas and Pivot Wealth's Ben Nash for their thoughts on building (multi) million-dollar portfolios with ETFs. Plus, they also share the biggest mistake they are seeing in client portfolios right now. Note: This episode of Buy Hold Sell was shot on Wednesday 13th April 2022. You can read an edited transcript below: https://www.livewiremarkets.com/wires/how-to-build-a-multi-million-dollar-portfolio-with-etfs/
