Dollar cost averaging is a powerful investment strategy that involves regularly investing a fixed amount of money into shares, regardless of market conditions. Partner & Wealth Adviser, Nathan Lear, explains several benefits that this method offers for investors, particularly in the often-volatile stock market. Discover how this strategy can be coupled with regular rebalances to bolster the effectiveness of your financial strategy. Read more here: https://bit.ly/3ZePPNh

While it can be tempting to react when market volatility strikes, the best days can be clustered around some of the worst days and trying to make timing decisions on the worst day could lead to missing out on the best day. Picking the bottom in a market correction is extremely difficult. Given the outsized returns, both up and down, for markets during these inflection points, missing the bottom by even a few days can prove extremely costly to returns. It pays to stay fully invested. The 20 best trading days for the S&P 500 over the last 50 years have provided a compound return of 287%. Finessing the timing of market entry or panic selling and remaining on the sidelines can risk missing these best days and leave the portfolio return lagging that of a fully invested portfolio.

Today's equity spotlight is Bega Cheese Limited. And despite the name, this company doesn't only sell Bega Cheese. Bega is an integrated producer of iconic brands like Bega, Vegemite, Dairy Farmers, Dare, Farmers Union, Masters, Daily Juice, The Juice Brothers, and Zooper Dooper.

Even with cost-of-living pressures, Bega's consumer brands have shown resilience, achieving double-digit price increases and a 5% volume growth in 2023. This strength has driven a share price increase of over 28% for 2024 to date.

Recognising changing consumer trends towards dairy-free and vegan diets, Bega is strategically shifting investment to its spreads business, boasting strong positions in products like Vegemite and peanut butter, which offer potential higher margins.

Additionally, Bega is enhancing its focus on supply chain efficiencies and expanding sales to non-grocery customers, such as convenience stores and chain restaurants.

Bega's success story is truly the cream of the crop 🧀
