Dear Readers,
Welcome to the October 2026 edition of the Funding Strategies newsletter!
From Mark's Desk
"Capital is being more selective"
As we move into the last quarter of the calendar year we are seeing continued inflationary pressures, growth higher than expected (from the RBA’s perspective) and an increase in business investment (Reserve Bank of Australia) in the Australian economy. We are seeing strong activity in the energy transition, AI, datacentre infrastructure industries and a mixed environment for construction and hospitality. Generally global risks and uncertainty remain elevated.
From an investment perspective M&A remains strong (Financial Review - Business, Finance and Investment News | afr.com) and credit remains available (strong bond issuance) albeit at higher pricing. As I have discussed before we are seeing that capital is being more selective; helping businesses be more investable and bankable has been our focus in terms of attracting this capital (Financial & Investment Advisory Services - Australia | Funding Strategies).
We have recently updated our deal list and information can be found here: Investment Opportunities - Australia | Funding Strategies; Various Projects - Investment Opportunities | Funding Strategies
