Two weeks on from our evening with Dr James Muecke AM, we’re still reflecting on the meaningful conversations shared on the night.
Dr Muecke spoke about the growing impact of metabolic health issues, why they matter more than many people realise, and the practical steps we can take to better understand, prevent, and manage them.
It was a timely reminder that long‑term wellbeing is shaped by the decisions we make today — across our health, lifestyle, and future planning.
Thank you to Dr. James Muecke AM for sharing his knowledge and perspective, to Holman Hodge for collaborating with us, and to the National Wine Centre of Australia for hosting the evening.
We’re grateful to everyone who joined us for a thoughtful and engaging night of learning and connection. At Heard Financial, we believe meaningful advice starts with understanding the bigger picture.
This reporting season has delivered some very large one-day share price moves, often far bigger than the change in earnings or outlook. The market is behaving more “all or nothing”, particularly in growth and mid-cap names.
Nick asks the questions, and Tim Binsted from InvestSense explains what’s behind the outsized reactions, and why concentration risk matters heading into results.

Get to know which markets have been the clear leaders this season, and which have lagged. It’s a timely reminder that market leadership rotates, and portfolios need to be built for changing conditions.

Global markets have seen sharp movements this month, influenced by the ongoing US–Iran conflict, higher energy price pressures, and shifting expectations around interest rates.
In our April Market Update, we discuss what these developments may mean for investors, why inflation remains a key focus for central banks, and why diversification continues to matter during periods of uncertainty.

Nicholas from Heard Financial is joined by Tim Binsted from InvestSense to discuss the latest Australian reporting season and what the results are telling us.
One key takeaway from the season: it has been one of the stronger reporting periods in recent years. More companies exceeded expectations than missed them, the ASX 300 is returning to genuine earnings growth, and dividends are improving — supported by continued strength in commodities and mining stocks.
