AI, Inflation and a record IPO: Decoding the ASX reporting season

Magellan Investment Partners

September  2026

(Listening time: 30 mins)

What did the latest reporting season reveal about the state of the Australian share market, and could the ASX's potentially biggest IPO in decades, Firmus Technologies, reshape the picture?

In this episode of In The Know, Magellan's Head of Distribution, Mark Burgess, is joined by Ray David, Portfolio Manager, and David Meehan, Investment Analyst, from Airlie Funds Management to unpack the results and the forces shaping the ASX.

They breakdown why Airlie remains cautious on the banks, the companies that stood out for the right, and wrong reasons, and where market reactions may be creating opportunities for long-term investors. They also explore the impact of the global AI capital cycle, persistent inflation and higher interest rates, and whether the shifts seen this reporting season represent something more enduring than short-term market noise.

What the headlines are missing on private credit

Magellan Investment Partners

August 2026

(Viewing time: 30 mins)

Asset-backed credit is a well-established part of Australia's lending market, but it operates quite differently from corporate and real estate private credit that has attracted much of the recent attention.

In this episode of In The Know, Simon Brinsmead from Barrenjoey is joined by Eric Williamson, Head of Private Credit Investments and Eva Zileli, Senior Fund Manager, Credit, from Barrenjoey Private Capital.

They explain how asset-backed lending works, the residential mortgages and other financial assets underpinning these investments, and the layers of protection built into securitisation structures. They also examine Australia's non-bank lending sector, how they assess credit quality and risk, and the role asset-backed credit can play within a diversified portfolio.
