SHIELD - Sustainable High Yield | Portfolio without yield is like an Emperor without clothes | Yield thematic is expected to continue into 2015Q3 with Budget uncertainties driving down local cyclicals, subdued global growth outlook and Central Banks maintaining low rates for longer. At the end of June, we suggested to move from an overweight Financials and underweight Resources portfolio to a balanced three pillar portfolio with equal weights in Resources, Industrials and Financials. SHIELD Top 20 picks are: large cap - WBC, CBA, NAB, ANZ, TLS, MQG and ASX; mid cap - BOQ; small cap - IDR, CSV, PTM, WEB, ALU, SKE, TRG, SGN and PRG; and micro cap - DDR, NCK and VLW. (VIEW LINK)
