Somewhere between a fund fact sheet and an investor’s account balance, a return goes missing. No one steals it. No regulator investigates it. It simply emerges in the gap between how a fund performed and how its investors actually experienced that performance. Morningstar calls this the investor return gap. Its 2026 Mind the Gap study found that, over the ten years to 31 December 2025, the average dollar invested in US mutual funds and ETFs earned 8.7% a year.
Next-generation infrastructure: growth without giving up the downside
For most of the last two decades, infrastructure meant regulated monopolies: utilities, airports, toll roads, each tied to government as regulator, price-setter or counterparty. Marc Meier, managing director for private infrastructure partnerships investments at Partners Group, says a different category has grown up alongside them, and it changes what the asset class can do in a portfolio. The new assets sit on top of what Meier calls gigatrends.
Inside the private technology class
The two leading artificial intelligence model companies in the world are both private. These companies have been able to raise hundreds of billions of dollars in the private markets reversing how the last technology cycle worked and leaving anyone building equity exposure with a gap the listed market cannot fill.
North backs Striver as the advice workforce runs top-heavy
The shortage of advisers in Australia is usually framed as a demand story, more households wanting advice than there are practitioners licensed to give it. The harder version is a succession story, and the register captures the underlying evidence. Padua Wealth Data figures show 39.9 per cent of advisers have been in the job for more than 20 years, while only 13 per cent have been practising for fewer than five.
Performance fees are becoming a ratings conviction factor
A fund that moves up a ratings tier has usually just had a strong run, and this one moved for a different reason. Zenith Investment Partners upgraded the ClearBridge Select Opportunities Fund after ClearBridge removed the performance fee, and the research house put that change at the centre of its reasoning. Zenith says its conviction in the fund “has strengthened following the enhancement to its fee structure”, which it expects will lead to improved investment outcomes.

When ethics and law don’t meet
One of the more commonly expressed sentiments regarding ethics seems to be that they differ between people and cultures. This leaves them somewhat down to the ‘eye of the beholder’. Generally, this is something much more likely to apply to morals and the community’s view of how people should treat each other and the world around them. Ethics is the study of acceptable behaviours and practices within an industry sphere.
Why global small caps deserve a permanent place in portfolios
Many investors treat global small caps as a tactical call on interest rates. Sadhvi Gupta, Executive Director, Quantitative Investment Strategies at Goldman Sachs Asset Management and client portfolio manager of the Yarra Global Small Companies Fund, thinks the stronger case is structural, and it starts with diversifying against the assets most portfolios already hold.
Why step-down care accommodation is drawing private capital
On any given day, parts of Australia’s hospital system have an estimated 8 to 10 per cent of their beds occupied by patients who are well enough to leave but have nowhere suitable to go. Many live with acquired brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, motor neurone disease or multiple sclerosis. They need too much care to return home, yet an acute ward is the most expensive place in the health system to provide that care. The health sector calls this bottleneck “bed block”.
