SMA’s Quest AUM $747 million are professionally managed portfolios where the investor retains beneficial ownership of the Strategy AUM $58 million underlying securities. Investment Horizon 3 – 5 years Investment Strategy Fundamental with a key focus on business quality and free cash flow The Quest portfolio was slightly positive for the month which Derivatives/Shorting Nil was 85bp ahead of the market which fell 0.8% in January. Lonsec Rating Reviewed and rated by January delivered a quieter holiday market but a jolt of reality Lonsec as Trump policy moved from theory to active. The Australian market eased less than a percent with Resources, Healthcare and Materials firm while Banks, REITS and Industrials fell. The market was both subdued and also cautious given the $330 burst of optimism in December post the US election. The new Trump administration is now in full flight and causing tremors thanks to a divisive combination of hurried executive orders, a $280 combatant approach to media, simplistic rationale and an authoritative attitude to international diplomacy. Despite that the global markets are still hoping for $230 infrastructure spending, more growth, tax cuts, rising inflation and less regulation. Investors are hopeful while being a little $180 nervous at the same time. Calendar 2016 is only the second time in 12 years that Quest has lagged the market over a calendar year.

  • Bank of Queensland Submission to RBA: EFTPOS and Visa Debit
    Bank of Queensland Submission to RBA EFTPOS and Visa Debit Consultation Document April 2005 Contents 1. Executive Summary 2. EFTPOS Interchange Fees 2.1 The Case for Zero EFTPOS Interchange Fees 2.2 RBA’s Draft EFTPOS Interchange Fee Standard 2.3 Potential Impact of the Reforms on Product Pricing 3. Visa Debit Reforms 3.1 The ‘Honour All Cards’ Rule 3.2 Visa Debit – Transparency 4. EFTPOS Access 5. Conclusion 1. Executive Summary It is a matter of history that the differing reform processes adopted for credit card interchange and for EFTPOS interchange has resulted in the implementation of these reforms becoming “out of step”. All the benefits from the disconnect between these reforms have fallen on the side of the retailers. In designating the EFTPOS system, we believed that the Reserve Bank would move to redress this situation and place the EFTPOS reforms back on track, as such we embraced designation as a positive development. Clearly, the self-regulatory industry EFTPOS reforms were aimed at achieving concurrent interchange fee reform between EFTPOS and Credit Cards but were required to follow an onerous and uncertain regulatory approval process. The uncertainty of the process was highlighted by the Australian Competition Tribunal (ACT) decision in 2004 to overturn the successful Authorisation Application determination made by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) in relation to Zero EFTPOS Interchange Fees. For the record, Bank of Queensland supports the views expressed by the Reserve Bank1 in the Consultation Document in relation to the ACT findings. Throughout the whole Payments System reform process, the financial services industry has been characterised as being generally opposed to reform, when clearly this has not been the case.
