Disclosing Customised benchmark for 2024/5 Year.

 CHANGING THE BENCHMARK FOR 2025

Each year I review the benchmark I use to assess my performance. A full discussion is in an earlier post.

The changes made are to use 400 equally weighted (EW) stocks down from 600. Broadly these comprise 60% profitable Australian companies, 30% high-quality international growers and 10% of the best speculative stocks IMO.

Reducing numbers allows for more finessing of the quality factor, which is most relevant in the 60% segment of profitable Australian companies. That is, as we move to a EW benchmark we automatically reduce factors, against the market-weighted index, such as success and size. That is a conscious choice on my part, but we do not want to reduce quality.

In the customised B/m, each stock weight is 0.25% negating individual stock impacts.

Regarding sector bias, Australia is overweight resources so care has been made to limit exposure to resource stocks and, to a lesser degree, those stocks largely dependent on activity in the resource sector.

The general asset allocation of 60/30/10 is driven by having an objective of matching Australian liabilities and a preferred AUD bias, the 30% International allocation is all quality growers and adds both quality to the benchmark and growth, not overly abundant in the Australian market.

The speculative portion is to add some potential upside, there was consideration about dropping this entirely due to the difficulty in picking the winners in this area (even in a b/m) and the lack of longevity in many of the stories. The allocation will be reviewed next year.

The estimated dividend yield on this group of stocks is 2.8%.
