Loss to be quickly recovered

Regardless, IAM expects to end the financial year profitably when considering earnings before interest and tax.
“We have invested into developing an exciting innovation for the Australian debt markets and hiring seven new experienced sales executives across the country,” IAM CEO Jon Lecthe said.
“We also invested in establishing our own High Yield Fund and, importantly, into an exciting development for the Australian fixed income markets, Exchange Traded Bonds (ETBs).
“[This] will enable retail investors to participate in better high-quality investments than they have been able to access in the past,” he added.
The second quarter of FY24, the company notes, will likely see Q1FY24 losses reclaimed.
