    Insights Active Quantitative Equity (AQE) Balanced Style Investing — Winning by Not Losing September 2020 Bruce Apted Head of Portfolio Management Australia Active Quantitative Equity Human emotions and biases affect all investors. Left unchecked, these emotions can sabotage financial decisions and generate suboptimal investment outcomes. However, by understanding how human emotions and behaviour impacts our decision making we can unlock opportunities for investors. The key to unlocking these opportunities is: • understanding how financial markets interact with human behaviour; and • finding an investment style to exploit these biases. Emotions are the Financial markets have the ability to generate and destroy wealth. They are complex and Enemy for Investors volatile and evoke significant emotions. Figure 1 depicts an all too common emotional roller coaster for investors. The worst case scenario is letting your emotions drive your investment decisions — buying a security near the high or capitulating and selling near the low. How can investors avoid the mistakes of mass psychology and turn emotional short comings into opportunity? Be risk averse when the market is overly optimistic (Euphoria) and risk seeking when the market is overly pessimistic (Panic and Capitulation). 10 Figure 1 Euphoria Market Becomes Expensive — Greatest Financial Risk The Emotional Roller Coaster of Investing 8 Thrill Anxiety Denial Excitment 6 Fear Optimism Optimism 4 Panic Relief 2 Hope Market Becomes Cheap — Greatest Financial Opportunity Capitulation Depression 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 Source: State Street Global Advisors.

    196 09) DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN CONTENTS PAGE SUMMARY OF RULES 1 COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 4 DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN RULES 7 Sonic Healthcare Limited ABN 24 004 196 909 Version date: 15 February 2017 SUMMARY OF RULES The Sonic Healthcare Limited ("Sonic") Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the ”DRP”) allows you to automatically reinvest some or all of your cash dividend in exchange for additional ordinary shares. This booklet has been prepared to assist you in deciding whether you wish to receive a cash dividend or increase your shareholding in Sonic by reinvestment of your dividend. A copy of the DRP Rules is contained in this booklet, which you should read carefully before deciding whether to participate in the DRP, or vary or withdraw from your participation where you have previously elected to participate. That decision should be taken after considering your particular financial and taxation position. It is stressed that while this summary provides an outline of the Plan’s operation, nothing in this booklet is intended to constitute financial product advice (and Sonic is not licensed to provide such advice). This booklet provides general comments only and does not take into account your personal objectives, financial situation or needs and should not be relied on as the basis for any decision you make in relation to participating in the DRP. You should obtain independent financial, legal and taxation advice in relation to your personal circumstances and how the participation in the DRP will affect you before making any decision to participate. If you are not already a DRP participant, it is not necessary for you to take any action if you wish to continue to receive your dividends in the form of cash only.

  • Joint Submission to the Inquiry Into Impediments to Business
    CSL biopharmaceutical manufacturing Broadmeadows, Victoria Cochlear medical device manufacturing Macquarie University, NSW Joint Submission to the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Economics Inquiry into Impediments to Business Investment May 2018 1 Executive Summary CSL and Cochlear are Australian success stories. They are the nation’s two largest and most successful innovation-focussed advanced manufacturing companies, both actively and successfully competing globally from an Australian base. Innovation and Science Australia’s recently released 2030 Strategic Plan predicted that Australia’s future prosperity will need to be driven by knowledge intensive companies that collaborate, innovate and export – companies like CSL and Cochlear. However, in 2017 CSL and Cochlear were two of only four Australian companies to make the list of the world’s top 1000 global R&D spenders1 both with an R&D intensity of over 10 per cent. Cochlear has over 100 research partnerships across the world and CSL has more than 180 in Australia alone. Both companies have a strong interest in enhancing Australia’s international competitiveness and maximising the social and economic benefits flowing from innovation- focussed industries but competition among peer nations for advanced manufacturing and R&D is intense. Policy makers all over the world are actively using micro and macro-economic levers to poach and fiercely compete for skilled job-creating capital investments. The realities are stark - less than 5% of Cochlear’s sales revenue is from Australia but it pays over 73% of its total tax bill here. For CSL, Australian sales revenue represents less than 10% of global external sales revenue, and its global income taxes (US$468.3 million paid in 2017) are paid in the countries where the majority of taxable income is earned.
