Good to note you are back. Interested in your updated thoughts on SEQ (which I have exited because of the internal friction) and PFG. Simon Madders answer to my questions (last week) were that they will meet FY24 guidance - but I am sure the statutory results will not be flash because of acquisition costs and bedding down costs.

Hi,

I have been talking about them in the letters on the squarespace site since leaving here but just for reference here are some links with recent discussion on SEQ

April - https://hurdlerate.substack.com/p/hurdle-rate-april-2024-letter-to

May - https://hurdlerate.substack.com/p/hurdle-rate-may-2024-letter-to-unitholders

PFG I will be discussing in this months letter including the EPM acquisition as well. I was on the call last week and asked a ton of questions.

Tristan, would be very interested in your views on SEQ fy23 results and more importantly, its future, given the Diverger/Count hook up & SEQ’s pile of cash post FY23. Does SEQ have the best biz model for this industry? That is acquiring employees by buying practices where the principals are ready to retire v acquiring part interests in practices.

Hi Damien,

I have discussed the SEQ results in August and will be discussing the Diverger/count merger in the Hurdle Rate Unit Trust Master Doc. I did discuss the prospects for these mergers in the June part of that document as well. Going forward this document is updated monthly, and i will push out an email reminder to substack subscribers that it is updated.
