Newsletter Guide

 

Our team is committed to building a community of better investors. We do this every day through our newsletter – delivered three times a day – morning, midday and in the afternoon, following market close.

Our key contributors, Marcus Padley and Henry Jennings, have a uniquely open and honest writing style, and are known for ‘telling it how it is’.

Their insights and commentary is delivered across the feature areas of Strategy, Portfolios & Stock Ideas, Market Overview, Resource Tools, and Education. A description of each feature is highlighted below along with detail on how to get the best out of each area.

Marcus' Take

Marcus Padley writes a strategy piece four times a week, including on Saturday, which highlights the team’s views on sector movement, stock selection, asset management, and more. It also provides you with actionable ideas through the model portfolios. Marcus also includes an educational element to his section, explaining jargon, indicators, fundamentals, charts, and other resources.

Henry’s Take

Henry Jennings dives into small and mid-cap stocks along with the large caps, and this section is slightly more speculative in nature. He writes this section daily and crystallises his ideas into the Small Cap Portfolio, where he monitors and tracks his recommendations, making it easy for you to follow. Henry’s honest and entertaining analysis and writing style, and extensive media appearances, has seen him develop his own cult following.
