Darlings in Australia have been more expensive only during the Nasdaq bubble when they touched 45x. ■ Darling derating: Buying Australian darlings at these valuations has been a poor strategy in the past. Also, the current high valuation for Australia's darlings suggest they are especially vulnerable to rising bond yields and the coming end of the Australian profits recession. A rising discount rate and a lower premium for growth suggest investors should focus on stocks that could be future darlings. ■ Hello Daaarling: Future market darlings have shared many similar characteristics over the last 20 years.

  • 2005 State of the Health Funds Report
    Private Health Insurance Ombudsman STATE OF THE HEALTH FUNDS REPORT 2005 (Relating to the financial year 2004-05) Report required by paragraph 82ZRC (ba) of the National Health Act 1953 i THE STATE OF THE HEALTH FUNDS – 2005 ___________________________________________________________________ FOREWORD I am pleased to present the second annual State of the Health Funds report relating to the financial year 2004/2005. The National Health Act requires the Private Health Insurance Ombudsman to publish this report after the end of each financial year, to provide comparative information on the performance and service delivery of all health funds during that financial year. The main aim of publishing the report is to give consumers some extra information to help them when making decisions about private health insurance. For existing fund members the report provides information that will assist them to compare the performance of their fund with all other health funds. For those considering taking out private health insurance it provides an indication of the services available from each fund and provides a comparison on some service and performance indicators at the fund level. In choosing the range of issues and performance information to include in this report, I have had to take account of the availability of reliable data and whether the information is reasonably comparable across funds. Much of the information included in the report is based on data collected by the Private Health Insurance Administration Council as part of their role in statistical reporting and monitoring the financial management of health funds. Some additional data has been gathered from the funds but I have sought to keep the extra administrative burden for funds to a minimal level, so as not to contribute to undue extra administration costs.
