FMG reduced from 10% → 5% — $2.1B green hydrogen losses, declining earnings, consensus analyst downside. GMG +3%, RMD +3% — freed capital redeployed to highest-conviction recurring revenue holdings. 6% watchlist pending scanner output for new candidate.

Moat Checklist — Buffett Upgrade

Every holding must have a durable competitive advantage. Four moat types recognised:

Switching Cost
PME, RMD — customers can't easily leave
Scale / Cost
BHP, RIO, FMG — cheapest producer wins
Brand / IP
COH — 40 years of cochlear IP (exited)
Network / Location
GMG — prime logistics sites irreplaceable
Moat question: "In 10 years, will this company still have a structural advantage over competitors?" If NO → do not invest regardless of price.
PEG Ratio Guide — Lynch Upgrade

PEG = P/E ÷ Earnings Growth Rate. Target below 1.5 on entry.

Revenue Quality Rules — Douglass Upgrade
🔄 Recurring Revenue Holdings
PME, RMD, GMG, ISLM — contract/subscription-based. Revenue is predictable and compounds.
Rules: Hold through minor pullbacks. Exit only on confirmed monthly downtrend OR fundamental change. Stop loss: 15%.
⚡ Cyclical Holdings
BHP, RIO, FMG — commodity price dependent. Require more active management.
Rules: Tighter trend monitoring. Exit faster on downtrend. Watch commodity cycles, not just charts.

The Complete System

Six layers. Built from the world's best investors. Applied to a Shariah-compliant ASX universe. Every rule has a source, a rationale, and a specific implementation.

Gillham Tactical Rules
01
Position Sizing
Max 20% Per Position
No single stock can exceed 20% of the total portfolio. Prevents any one position from causing irreparable damage regardless of conviction. If a holding appreciates above 20%, trim and redeploy.
Rule: Monitor monthly. Rebalance if any position grows to 22%+. Proceeds go to underweight positions within buy zone.
02
Risk Management
15% Stop Loss
Every entry has a hard stop loss 15% below purchase price. Non-negotiable. The 2020 COVID crash is the case study — January 2020 entries with stops would have exited before the 35% drawdown.
Rule: Set stop on day of entry. Never move it lower. A triggered stop is the system working. Re-enter on confirmed uptrend.
03
Entry Signal
Confirmed Uptrend Entry
Never buy a falling stock hoping for a bottom. Only enter when weekly or monthly close shows confirmed higher highs and higher lows. For cyclicals also check the commodity cycle direction.
Rule: Monthly chart for direction. Weekly close for timing. Never buy on daily noise. Cup-with-handle base (O'Neil) is ideal entry signal.
04
Exit Signal
Confirmed Downtrend Exit
Exit when the monthly close pattern confirms a downtrend — lower highs and lower lows — regardless of whether the stop has been hit. Recurring revenue stocks get more patience. Cyclicals exit faster.
Rule: Review monthly charts on first trading day of each month. Two consecutive lower monthly closes below trendline = exit signal.
The Three Upgrades — From The Masters
UPGRADE 01
Moat Checklist
SOURCE: Warren Buffett / Charlie Munger — Berkshire Hathaway
Before any stock enters the fund, it must have a durable competitive advantage that will protect it for 10+ years. Four moat types: switching costs, scale/cost advantage, brand/IP, network effects.
IMPLEMENTATION
5-question checklist: (1) Repeat customers who can't easily leave? (2) Charge more than competitors? (3) Gets cheaper as it grows? (4) Irreplaceable assets? (5) Dominant brand? At least 3 of 5: YES required.
UPGRADE 02
PEG Ratio Screen
SOURCE: Peter Lynch — Fidelity Magellan Fund (29% avg return, 13 years)
PEG ratio normalises valuation for growth. A stock at 40x PE growing at 40% is cheaper than a stock at 15x PE growing at 5%. Buy zone below 1.5. Hold zone 1.5–2.5. Review above 2.5.
IMPLEMENTATION
Calculate PEG on every entry using trailing 12-month EPS and 3-year average growth rate. Review all PEGs quarterly. PME sits review territory (PEG 3.0) — exceptional moat strength compensates.
UPGRADE 03
Revenue Quality Split
SOURCE: Hamish Douglass — Magellan Financial Group (peak $120B AUM)
Every holding classified as either Recurring or Cyclical. Each type has different holding rules, exit triggers, and position sizing maximums.
IMPLEMENTATION
Recurring (PME, RMD, GMG, ISLM): hold through volatility unless fundamental change. Cyclical (BHP, RIO, FMG): active trend monitoring, faster exits on downtrend, reduce in late commodity cycles.
Passive Hold vs Full System — 2020 Scenario
PASSIVE HOLD (NO RULES)
~$177k
Buy Jan 2020. No stops. No exits. Rode the COVID crash -35% and waited for recovery.
FULL 6-LAYER SYSTEM (EST.)
~$195–210k
Stops triggered Feb 2020. Preserved ~85% capital. Re-entered May–Jun 2020 at lower prices. Exited COH on monthly downtrend signal 2021.
Estimated active premium: +$18,000–$33,000 over 6 years on a $100k portfolio. Most of the edge is in risk management, not stock selection.

The Masters

Every rule in our system traces back to a proven investor. We synthesised the best of all frameworks into a Shariah-compliant structure.

Warren Buffett & Charlie Munger
Berkshire Hathaway — ~20% avg CAGR over 58 years
Layer 2

Buffett: "If I were running $50–200M, I would have 80% in five positions, with 25% for the largest." Munger: "If you can buy a few great companies, you can sit on your ass."

What they gave us: The moat checklist. Concentration philosophy. The idea that 9 well-researched positions is safer than 30 poorly-researched ones.
Peter Lynch
Fidelity Magellan — 29% avg return over 13 years
Layer 3

Managed $20M → $14B. Invented the PEG ratio. Championed the "tenbagger" — holding through multiple growth stages.

What he gave us: PEG ratio valuation. The "know your story" test. The tenbagger mindset applied to PME.
William O'Neil
CAN SLIM — #1 strategy 1998–2009 (AAII)
Layer 6

CAN SLIM combines fundamental quality with technical precision. Only buys during confirmed uptrends.

What he gave us: Cup-with-handle entry trigger. Market direction filter. The 8% hard stop principle (adapted to 15% for ASX).
Hamish Douglass — Magellan
Peak AUM $120B — Australia's best global manager
Layer 4

Built Magellan around high-quality recurring revenue businesses. His cautionary tale: failed to exit Alibaba on downtrend. Had he used Gillham's monthly close exit rule, Magellan's 2022 unwind would have been avoided.

What he gave us: Revenue quality classification. Different rules for recurring vs cyclical.
Dale Gillham
Wealth Within — 25+ years ASX expertise
Layers 5+6

Author of "How to Beat the Managed Funds by 20%" and "Accelerate Your Wealth." Core framework: blue chip selection, 5–12 stocks, max 20%, trend-based entries, hard 15% stop losses.

What he gave us: The core tactical framework. The philosophical foundation that most of the edge is in risk management, not stock picking.
SP Funds (US)
SPUS — $2B AUM, top halal ETF globally
Layer 1

Proved that Shariah screening is a quality filter — removing over-leveraged banks, casinos, and alcohol companies leaves a naturally higher-quality, lower-debt universe. SPUS has outperformed the S&P 500 in multiple periods.

What they gave us: The proof that halal and alpha are compatible.

Built for Australian
Muslim Investors

Taqwa Ticker is Australia's first active Shariah-compliant equity fund — applying the synthesised wisdom of the world's greatest investors to a fully AAOIFI-screened ASX portfolio.

The Problem We Solve

Most Australian Muslim investors' wealth sits in conventional savings accounts, superannuation funds invested in interest-bearing assets, or simply in cash — because the halal investing landscape in Australia offered very little until now.

The passive halal index underperforms the conventional ASX 200 by ~1.4% p.a. due to excluding banks. Active stock picking with our 6-layer system closes that gap and adds alpha.
