Alvia Portfolio Manager, Daniel Martin appeared on SBS Australia’s On the Money for a wide-ranging discussion on the macro forces currently shaping markets.
The interview explored weaker investor sentiment, the ASX200’s move toward correction territory, and sharp moves across oil, gold and the Australian dollar, alongside the broader implications of ongoing conflict in the Middle East. Together, these factors have created a far more uncertain and demanding backdrop for investors.
In periods like this, staying disciplined becomes even more important. At Alvia, we are focused on identifying high-quality businesses with resilient, non-cyclical earnings, strong fundamentals and long-term structural support, rather than reacting to short-term market volatility.
That discipline is critical when the market backdrop is anything but simple.
