A short notice on the COVID-19 public health event, and how it can impact investments Given the currently evolving issues around the Coronavirus (or Covid-19) globally, which has officially been designated a pandemic by the World Health Organisation, we wish to notify that, as with many firms, business may be disrupted. A public health crisis, pandemic, epidemic or outbreak of a contagious disease, such as the recent outbreak of Coronavirus (or Covid-19) in Australia, Italy, China, South Korea, the United States and other countries, could have an adverse impact on global, national and local economies, which in turn could negatively impact investment returns in any of Ausbil Investment Management Limited’s registered managed investment schemes (the Funds). Disruptions to commercial activity relating to the imposition of quarantines or travel restrictions (or more generally, an inability on behalf of authorities to contain this pandemic) may adversely impact any investment, including by delaying or causing supply chain disruptions or by causing staffing shortages. The outbreak of Coronavirus has contributed to, and may continue to contribute to, volatility in financial markets.

  • Small Talk Better, Cheaper, Faster… by Marcus Burns, Senior Portfolio Manager, Australian Smaller Companies
    June 2013 For professional investors only Small Talk Better, cheaper, faster… by Marcus Burns, Senior Portfolio Manager, Australian Smaller Companies To a man with a hammer everything looks like a nail. Australia is a country blessed with a great climate, loads of natural resources, an abundance of land and the English legal System with the rule of law. You could stop there and logic alone would dictate these are conditions precedent for fostering a successful country. With these natural and cultural blessings in tow it would be unforgiveable, however, for us to become complacent. As the resources boom draws to an end and with it the vast investment in resources infrastructure, how well our country does will depend on our adaptability to new economic conditions. Conditions that will more likely favour companies whose managers are “fortunate because they are able” rather than those who are “fortunate and able”. By this I am referring to management teams whose capability to grow sales and profits faster than their industry average will likely become even more important as our economy subdues. Managers, in our opinion, likely to achieve this are those who can and have focused on innovation and who operate with lean and flexible work forces. Innovation can take many forms. It can involve making something better, faster, cheaper, more convenient. It can involve making something new – I didn’t know I needed an iPad until Steve Jobs and Apple invented one. Ditto the iPhone. Someone invented ABS brakes, LED lighting and solar power. Many of the longest lasting and better companies to work for are the most innovative.
