With inflation finally heading in the right direction and Trump’s trade war throwing global markets a curveball, investors are laser-focused on central banks, and the RBA is firmly in the spotlight. A second rate cut is widely expected in May, with markets pricing in a 98% chance. So, how are the pros positioning their portfolios in a falling rate environment? To unpack this and more, Matthew Haupt from Wilson Asset Management and Tim Johnston from Tyndall Asset Management sat down with special guest host, Matthew Kidman from Centennial Asset Management. In the episode, they dig into how lower interest rates influence portfolio construction, which sectors stand to benefit, and how professionals assess the impact on capital-intensive or heavily indebted companies. They also explore the growing importance of dividends and yield in a low-rate environment, and, of course, share one rate-sensitive stock they believe the market is currently mispricing. If you’re looking to sharpen your strategy in a shifting rate environment, this episode is not to be missed. Please note this episode was filmed on 23 April 2025
