Our big funds tend to have about 60% of their portfolio in equities.
The MSCI world's doing a lot of lifting for you if you're investing in around that.
Why do now funds get that much?
Clearly, they don't own enough of the hot stuff.
Too many Australian shares, not enough of the chip makers, the big contributors in the US market with a mega cap US tech stocks, right in the AI optimism wave, you know, your NVIDIAs and the like.
Japanese equity is up 70%.
You know, it needed more of those.
So the super funds are slow old learners, James.
And we are...
Coming across that more and more in these times, they are conservative.
They are very conscious that these are members' retirement savings, their life savings, and they don't want to blow it up.
So they're not all chips in in these bull markets, which they reckon will protect them in the bear markets.
Let's just see what happens.
But right now, we're really in these bull markets.
We've had three or four years of them.
Super funds aren't going anywhere near where the listed equity markets have in that time, but they satisfy themselves that they're nice and diversified.
James, we just got off the phone with Sean Manuel, the Chief Investment Officer of Australian Super.
I only started there in the job this week.
What was your big takeaway from him about the year that's just been and then what's coming?
I'll take that as a comment, James.
