Dear Readers,
Welcome to the March/April 2025 edition of the Funding Strategies newsletter!
From Mark's Desk
"It has been an interesting / turbulent first quarter with trade tariffs globally and a flight to gold.
Interest rates and inflation seem to be “steady” at the moment as does business confidence – essentially neutral (Chart Pack | RBA).
While the stock market will reflect the uncertainty in global markets we believe there are good opportunities in alternative assets including yielding opportunities that are not correlated with the public markets (see Investment Opportunities - Australia | Funding Strategies). Please reach out for more information.
We are also seeing strong merger and acquisition opportunities and have a number of buyers looking for investments. Again please reach out if you are looking to buy or sell a business (Exits, Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) - Australia | Funding Strategies) and we can see how we can help. We are currently running a number of buy side advisory assignments.
Finally, please feel free to contact us if we can be of assistance to your business."
