Description
By the end of February, Iran and Israel had traded strikes, the Strait of Hormuz was shut, and Brent Crude was up 65% in a month, the biggest move in the history of the oil market. Tariffs on Chinese goods went from 145% to a fresh 10% baseline order. China put export controls on rare earths that expire this year. Gold, the US dollar and private credit all moved because of it. The problem is that most portfolios did not.
In this free live briefing, the Vitti Capital team will walk through what actually happened in markets this year, where the money went, and what it means for how you’re positioned right now.
They will discuss the concentration sitting inside the ASX 200, the CGT change coming in 2027, and what 2022 taught us about which parts of a portfolio actually hold up when stocks and bonds move together.
You don’t need extensive finance knowledge, just a keen ear.
