VISIS Private Wealth

On Saturday, five members of the VISIS team took part in a 25km walk around Brisbane to raise funds and awareness for men’s mental health and su***de prevention, supporting the important work of Spoke to a Bloke .

Over the past four years, we’ve had the privilege of being involved with this amazing organisation and have seen firsthand the meaningful impact they have in the community, particularly in supporting younger men and helping prevent su***de.

This event continues to grow each year, with more than 2,500 participants across Australia and over 350 taking part in Brisbane alone. It’s a powerful reminder of what can be achieved when communities come together for an important cause.

We’re proud to support the work of Spoke to a Bloke and contribute in a small way to raising awareness of such a critical issue.

We’re proud to announce the launch of our new VISIS Private Wealth website!

More than just a refreshed look, the new site reflects our purpose of putting clients at the heart of everything we do. It also introduces our new brand identity and has been designed to better showcase who we are, how we work, and the value we strive to deliver to every client relationship.

Whether you are an existing client or are new to VISIS, we invite you to explore the new site and let us know what you think!

Some of our VISIS team recently had the privilege of volunteering at Ronald McDonald House Charities South East Queensland as part of the Meals from the Heart corporate volunteer program.

This program provides families with children in hospital with a warm, home cooked style meal, taking away some of the stress so they can focus on what really matters - being together.

It was an incredibly rewarding experience for the team, and a great reminder of how a few hours of teamwork can make an important impact on someone else's life.

We look forward to continuing to support this great charity throughout the year.

Welcome to summer and, for many, an active season with last-minute tasks and celebrations with family and friends. We take this opportunity to wish you and your family a joy-filled and safe festive season!

While headline inflation eased to 2.8% in the September quarter, the Reserve Bank remains unmoved on interest rates. RBA Governor Michelle Bullock says the drop in the cost of living may be welcome relief for most of us, but the Board’s measure to watch is trimmed mean inflation and that’s still not “sustainably” in the desired target range of 2-3%.

It’s the last month of Spring and with summer on the way and many already planning for Christmas and holidays, it might be a busy month.



Interest rates are expected to remain on hold when the Reserve Bank board meets next week despite welcome news on the inflation front. The Consumer Price Index rose just 0.2% in the September quarter and 2.8% for the year, the lowest rate in just over three years. Prices fell slightly for alcohol and to***co, clothing, housing, health, and financial services. Transport costs also fell for the first time since 2020.



Share prices softened during the past two weeks of October, recorded the worst monthly performance in six months. The S&P/ASX 200 closed slightly down by 0.3% over the month, after again reaching record highs mid-month.

It’s October and, as Spring delivers a bracing mix of weather events from rain and wind to snow and hail in some parts, we’re looking forward to the longer, warmer days ahead.

Interest rate speculation is rife after the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) kept rates on hold at 4.35% last month. Economists are now predicting it may be several months before rates fall. It’s a different story in the United States where the Federal Reserve slashed interest rates by half a percentage point in September and forecast two more cuts before the end of the year.

Australia’s inflation rate fell to 2.7% in August, down from 3.5% the previous month in the lowest reading in three years. Falling petrol prices and energy bill relief helped drive the slowdown.

Welcome to spring, a season that might be motivational for personal, business and financial renewal. We hope you enjoy the sunshine and warmer weather.

Global stock markets – including the ASX –largely stabilised by the end of August after a turbulent month.

It was a rocky start when markets everywhere plummeted fell after news of high unemployment figures in the US and an interest rate move by Japan’s central bank. Despite the dramas, the S&P/ASX 200 closed 1.28% higher for the month marking a gain of just over 10% for the 12 months to date.

Most of us have been experiencing unexpectedly cold temperatures and high rainfall lately but the good news is that spring is on the way. As the days grow longer and warmer, there can be a sense of optimism and a feeling of renewal.

Market watchers, investors and mortgage holders, who’d been anxiously awaiting the release of the latest inflation data at the end of July, could neither jump for joy nor collapse in despair.

The best that could be said about the figures was that they were not as bad as they could have been. It remains to be seen how the Reserve Bank board will view inflation’s modest increase when it meets on August 5 and whether it decides on an interest rate rise to counter it. The Australian Bureau of Statistics says prices rose 1% in the June quarter and 3.8% annually.
