Manager's comments
Market Commentary
With a 0.50% cut to our Official Cash (OCR) Rate over the September quarter and by our assessment, another two cuts baked into market expectations, we see it only as a matter of time before term deposit rates move lower.
If we apply our logic to Australia, where we predict another 0.25% cut to their OCR, plus a 50/50 chance of another 0.25% - delivering a terminal rate of either 0.25% or 0.50% - we also see Australian term deposits lower, as well. Our point here is that New Zealand is not the exception to the lower interest rate rule!
Portfolio Positioning
The fund continues with its strategy of holding what we believe to be high quality investments, in order to boost fund returns, as a complement to its deposits held with domestic banks.
Outlook
With our expectation that the Reserve Bank of New Zealand will relax monetary policy further and slowing international economic activity, generally, we will continue to put our cash to work in selected securities that offer a margin above the OCR.
