## Resource

Rob Pizzichetta (Founder of Mont Wealth) lays out an evidence-based case for being actively underweight Australian equities and overweight global, particularly US, equities. He argues the RBA is trapped between rising inflation (recently 3.6%, forecast to peak ~4.8%), weak growth (~1.3%), high household debt and variable-rate mortgages, with structural issues in productivity, housing supply (dwelling investment forecast cut to -1.1%), fiscal spending offsetting tightening, and risks of unanchored inflation expectations. Bank updates signal margin pressure, softer credit demand and rising arrears, while early corporate disappointments and likely downgrades collide with unattractive ASX valuation versus ~5% risk-free bond yields. In contrast, he highlights broadening US earnings strength, a Fed on hold, and a major AI capex cycle concentrated in US-listed companies, then recommends reducing AU equity exposure, increasing global/US exposure, and using income-generating assets for domestic allocation. 00:00 Big Picture Thesis 01:06 RBA Rate Squeeze 03:25 Structural Weak Spots 06:14 Banks Flash Warning 08:07 ASX Valuation Trap 09:17 Why US Looks Better 11:05 AI Capex Supercycle 12:35 Portfolio Moves 15:07 Final Takeaways
