In this interview on Ausbiz Roger discusses given where price-to-earnings ratios are today, there’s a much-better-than-even possibility investors who purchase shares in high-quality growth companies today, will not only benefit from the earnings growth produced by their selections but also the re-rating of price-to-earnings ratios to higher levels in the future.

Qantas upgraded its profit forecast by $150 million for the first half of 2023 and told investors it expects to post up to $1.45 billion in pre-tax profit. So is the airline a great business to own?

In this article for Firstlinks Roger discusses the Private credit asset class. Your bank has been lending to SMEs for a century and now they’re pulling back, opening the opportunity for others, previously you had to own bank shares to see some of the returns from SME lending.

In this interview on Ausbiz Roger covers why Private Credit is a great addition to investors’ portfolios. Private credit is one-way businesses raise capital.

Roger joined Philip Clark on ABC Nightlife to discuss the factors making investors feel anxious in the current climate. Interest rates will be rising for the foreseeable future and the Reserve Bank of Australia governor, Philip Lowe, said the RBA will not hesitate in making higher increases than predicted if inflation does not begin to drop. Expectations are for the U.S. Federal Reserve to impose another interest rate rise of 0.75 percentage points at their meeting this Wednesday. For investors, Roger and Phil discuss timeless investment lessons learnt over the years, including why sustained market success comes from thinking like the owner of a business.
