Following the launch of the Blackwattle Equity Income Fund, CEO Jarred Rubin and Portfolio Manager Rudi Minbatiwala provide an in depth overview of the Fund’s investment strategy, objectives, and approach to delivering consistent income outcomes for investors.
Australia’s retirement income strategy is evolving!
With 2.5 million Australians entering retirement, the focus is shifting to building sustainable, long-term income. Australian equities will play a key role in delivering the solution.
Rudi Minbatiwala, Equity Income Portfolio Manager at Blackwattle Investment Partners, recently joined Juliette Saly to discuss how retirees can balance income today with growth for tomorrow.
Key insights:
• High dividend yield stocks don’t always deliver the best long-term income growth
• Options strategies can help generate near-term income while managing risk
• Managed funds make these sophisticated strategies more accessible
Retirement investing isn’t just about yield; it’s about durability and long-term income growth.
Blackwattle Investment Partners CEO Jarred Rubin discusses with Juliette Saly key themes shaping 2026.
Jarred outlines 2025 as a year defined by three distinct phases – early trade and tariff uncertainty, a powerful risk-on rally led by small caps, and a late resurgence in inflation concerns. Looking ahead to 2026, he highlights the growing divergence in interest rate expectations between Australia and the US as a key macro theme.
