Show Notes

In this episode of QAV Australia, Cameron and Tony brave the Australian heat to discuss a mix of music history and high-stakes value investing. The duo pays tribute to the late Midnight Oil drummer Rob Hirst, reflecting on his iconic sound and the band's cultural impact. Turning to the markets, they analyze the record-breaking success of hedge fund manager Chris Hohn, whose old-school value approach netted $28 billion in a single year. The episode features a deep dive into the complex takeover saga surrounding Humm Group (HUM), weighing the company's strong commercial leasing profits against its controversial buy-now-pay-later (BNPL) pivot and ongoing governance battles involving founder Andrew Abercrombie and Credit Corp. Finally, they wrap up with portfolio updates showing significant outperformance in both Australian and US dummy portfolios.
