Dear Clients and Friends,

As we move into the final stretch of the year, there’s a sense of cautious optimism in the air. The past few months have reminded us that while headlines often focus on uncertainty, steady progress continues quietly beneath the surface. Australia’s economy is holding its ground, and many of the shifts we’re seeing — in markets, interest rates, and confidence — are part of the natural rhythm of the cycle.

At EWK Private Wealth, our focus remains on helping you stay grounded amid the noise. The journey of investing is rarely smooth, but it rewards those who keep perspective and stay true to their long-term plans.

So, take a moment to pause, breathe, and remember: steadiness and patience are still the most powerful strategies of all.

Warm regards,
Eleonor

Investment cycles – what are they and why you need to be aware of them

Whether it be the cycle of day and night, seasons, tides, the weather, fertility cycles, birth and death, etc, cycles are integral to life. And so too for economies and investment markets. Some are regular, some just rhyme. Despite attempts to end or subdue them via economic policy and regulation they live on.

Bubble trouble – is AI enthusiasm driving a bubble in shares?

Lately, some commentators and investment experts have been expressing concern about a bubble in equity markets with some referring to excessive optimism about AI and drawing comparisons to the late 1990s tech boom. Some have been advocating holding a higher proportion of funds in cash in response.
