InPrivate

Summer 2024 Edition

Welcome to our summer issue of InPrivate, and our first for 2024. I hope you’ve had a restful start to the year. 

We’re delighted to welcome George Crosby as our newly appointed Chief Investment Officer for ANZ Investments. For more, see ANZ appoints new CIO.

In each edition we give our market outlook for the quarter, but a new year is an opportunity to take a longer view and cast our eyes over the next 12 months. Signs point to a sluggish year ahead, with global growth likely to slow – but the outlook for bonds is promising. Where else might we see the pace pick up? We take a look at some of the key themes to expect in the coming months, alongside your quarterly investment update. 

The trustee tax rate is set to increase in April, and many will be wondering how to prepare for and mitigate the effects of the change. I recommend having a read of the considerations outlined by The Advisory Group’s Graham Lawrence – he has some practical short and long-term strategies that you may find helpful. 

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support of ANZ Private. If you have any questions, please do reach out to your Private Banker. 

Wishing you a safe and healthy summer, and all the best for the year ahead. 

Glenn Stevenson
General Manager, ANZ Private
