In the continuing volatile global environment, Australian companies are focused on new opportunities to execute on their growth programs. With governments under pressure to secure their countries’ energy supplies in an environmentally sustainable manner, companies are exploring strategies including UCG, shale gas and new “greener” technologies in the energy storage space. Rapid population growth and economic development, particularly in Asia, is also exerting significant pressure on governments to secure food supply - how does this impact on the sustainability of Australia’s long term agriculture platform?

At BBY’s upcoming 5th Annual Agriculture, Cleantech and Energy Conference, we will showcase some of the leading companies in these sectors.

BBY invites you to attend the 2010 Agriculture, Cleantech & Energy Conference being held
at BBY offices - Level 17, 60 Margaret Street, Sydney on 14 September 2010.

The Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) has launched a new large order execution service, namely VolumeMatch, on Monday 28 June 2010. BBY is pleased to announce that it has been granted approval from the ASX to commence trading on this facility immediately. BBY is one of a limited number of brokers that has been granted immediate access to VolumeMatch. This service is available to our Institutional Clients.

VolumeMatch is an execution mechanism for large orders of $1million plus that reduces market impact and information leakage by allowing users to search for liquidity anonymously.

“The features of VolumeMatch cater to the growing demand from fund managers for a large order execution service that protects against rising market impact costs due to information leakage and falling average trade sizes,” the ASX has announced in its statement of 28 June 2010.

“At the same time, VolumeMatch preserves the integrity of the main ASX market by executing trades at prices from the central limit order book (protecting price discovery), setting size thresholds (limiting liquidity fragmentation) and publishing trades in the normal course of sales (immediate post-trade transparency).”

If you would like to utilize this new product or require further information please contact your BBY account manager.

BBY would like to congratulate Jaguar funds for its impressive 82.39% return vs the ASX 200  benchmark of 30.8% for the 2009 calendar year.

The year started with a significant level of risk aversion but the investment team anticipated this would abate during the year, particularly after the ASX 200 declined more that 50% from its peak in November 2007. The investment team is pleased with its results.

Heading into 2010, the team believes that the big returns are over and stock specific themes will dominate rather than the large macro trades. Despite the overall market valuations appearing attractive, the team has remained cautious and have kept the funds gross exposure at conservative levels.

This year, the Australian market is unlikely to log the same stellar gains it did in 2009, say Glenn Rosewall, CEO & MD at BBY and David Shearwood, CEO of Atom Funds Management. They assess the risks the market will face in 2010, with CNBC's Oriel Morrison. Click here for the video on CNBC.

In this summer issue of the BBY Quarterly Client Update, Glenn Rosewall, CEO and MD said, "BBY has developed a reputation for identifying outstanding investment ideas. Two of our key research picks were top performers in 2008 and 2009. Linc Energy (LNC) was the number one performer in the ASX/S&P200 and this year Extract Resources (EXT) was the second best stock on the ASX."

BBY would like to congratulate Linc Energy and Extract Resources for these milestone achievements.
