JMP Strategic Investments - Market Governance Signal Service

MGM Select.

Every Sunday evening — a systematic read of the ASX.
Which stocks are in setup. What the regime is doing.
An alert the moment a signal fires.

MGM Select applies a documented, rules-based framework to the ASX every week — covering Micro Cap, Small Cap, and Mid Cap — and delivers the output to a capped membership of 30. When the framework identifies an opportunity, an alert is issued before the following session opens. Every member receives the ASX Trading Framework — the complete methodology behind every signal — before their first publication arrives. What you do with any notification is entirely your decision.

The premise

The market does not need
your attention every day.

Most investors spend their week buried in information that changes nothing. Charts that go untraded. Headlines that reverse by Friday. Noise dressed up as analysis, produced by people who have never run real capital through a real cycle.

A single publication arrives every Sunday evening. It tells you what the market is doing, where the framework has identified opportunity across Micro Cap, Small Cap, and Mid Cap tiers of the ASX, and what to watch for in the week ahead. When an opportunity presents, you receive an alert. You assess it. You decide. The rest of the week belongs to you.

That is what a professional process is supposed to produce.

Built to a standard

Why this exists.
And why it is built this way.

Twenty-six years in financial markets shapes how a process is built and what standard it is held to. The early part of that career was institutional. ABN AMRO Morgans. RBS Morgans. Environments where a documented, defensible framework was the baseline expectation, not a point of difference.

The signal service industry does not operate to that standard. Unqualified operators. Thin track records. Frameworks taught by people who have never applied them to real capital through a genuine market cycle. That is the norm, and it is largely uncontested.

MGM Select is capped at 30 members because signal integrity across the ASX tiers requires it. The cap also reflects something else. This is not a volume business. Every member receives the same service. There are no tiers designed to move you upward, no upsells, nothing withheld for a higher price point. What you join is the complete service, built to a professional standard and delivered without exception.

Clarity

Let's be precise about
what this is.

Most investment services blur the line between education and advice, between signal and recommendation, between process and opinion. MGM Select does not.

This is not
Personal financial advice tailored to your situation
A guarantee of returns or a promise of performance
A day trading or intraday service
A community or social environment
Open to everyone — membership is capped and curated
This is
A weekly ASX signal publication — regime assessment, watchlist across three tiers, framework alerts, open signal log
A post-close alert when a signal fires — stock code, entry model, framework reference levels, volume confirmation
A monthly private briefing - closed to members only, no public recordings
An annual signal record - the complete, unedited performance history
The ASX Trading Framework — the complete methodology document, provided to every member at onboarding
General advice only — you make every decision about your own capital
Delivered by a licensed professional with 26 years of market experience
Limited to the Founding 30. Signal integrity depends on it.
The Service

Three things.
Nothing else.

MGM Select is deliberately minimal. Every element earns its place. What is not here has been removed intentionally.

01

The Weekly
Publication

Delivered every Sunday evening. Market regime assessment. Active watchlist with framework setup status for each stock. Framework alerts from the week. Open signal log with current stop condition status. Everything a member needs to be prepared for the week ahead — in a single, professional document.

02

The Post-Close
Alert

When an opportunity presents, an alert is issued prior to the open of the following session. Stock code. Entry model confirmed. Framework reference levels for members to apply independently. Volume confirmation. The alert describes a completed market event. Members apply the ASX Trading Framework to assess and act at their own discretion.

03

The Monthly
Briefing

Once a month, a closed session with John. Market regime in depth. Current watchlist rationale. Forward conditions. Open questions from members. Not recorded for public distribution. Not available outside membership. This is the access component - direct professional time unavailable anywhere else at any price. Attendance is not mandatory. The recording is available to members only for 30 days.

Transparency

The annual
record.

Once per year, every member receives the complete signal record for the prior 12 months. Every framework alert. Every entry model. Every outcome — whether the stop condition was met or the position remained open. Hit rate. Average gain on winners. Average loss on stopped-out trades. The regime state at the time of each signal.

Past performance is not indicative of future results. The annual signal record reflects historical framework outcomes only. Individual member results will differ based on entry timing, position sizing, brokerage costs, and whether each member chose to act on any given signal. No representation is made that future signals will achieve similar outcomes. Before acting on any information, consider whether it is appropriate for your personal circumstances.

No cherry-picking. No selective reporting. The record stands on its own. This is the standard we hold ourselves to - and the standard members deserve.

Integrity

Why the Founding 30
is capped at 30.

The cap is not a marketing device. It is a structural requirement.

The service covers three tiers of the ASX — Micro Cap ($50M–$300M), Small Cap ($300M–$2B), and Mid Cap ($2B–$10B). Each tier has a minimum average daily volume threshold to ensure entries and exits remain clean. When a signal fires on a Micro Cap stock and a significant number of members act simultaneously, combined order flow can move the price against everyone. The membership cap protects signal integrity across all three tiers.

The cap is set by the binding constraint - the Micro Cap tier. A membership of 30 keeps signal integrity well within tolerance across the Micro Cap, Small Cap, and Mid Cap tiers, even in thinner conditions. This is the honest reason for the limit. Should demand support it, a further intake may open in future as a separate cohort, held to the same constraint - not by simply raising this number.

When the Founding 30 is full, a waitlist opens. Members who leave create one vacancy, offered to the next person on the waitlist in order - no queue-jumping, no preferential access. JMP Strategic Investments Pty Ltd may open a further intake in future at its discretion; if so, it will be run as a separate cohort under the same constraint, not as an expansion of the Founding 30 itself.

Membership

One tier.
One price.

MGM Select does not offer tiers, trials, or discounted entry. Every member receives the same service. The price reflects the value of a seat — and the quarterly minimum reflects the nature of the work. Signal quality is assessed over cycles, not weeks. Members who understand that are exactly who this service is built for.

$1,497
per quarter — GST inclusive.
Or $5,491 per year — saves you the equivalent of one month.
What membership includes
Weekly signal publication - every Sunday evening without exception
Alert on every triggered signal - issued prior to the following session open
Monthly private briefing - closed session, members only
Annual signal record - complete and unedited. Every signal. Every outcome.
Access to the full archive of prior publications from date of joining
Quarterly and annual billing only — signal quality is measured over cycles, not weeks. Members who need a monthly option are not the right fit for this service.

Before subscribing — this service provides general financial product advice only. It does not take into account your individual objectives, financial situation, or needs. Read the full General Advice Disclaimer before acting on any information published by this service. Membership constitutes acceptance of that disclaimer in full.

Billing — membership is billed quarterly at $1,497 or annually at $5,491. There is no monthly billing option. Signal quality is assessed over market cycles — a quarter is the minimum meaningful window. Cancel at the end of your current billing period with 30 days written notice.

Onboarding — every new member receives the ASX Trading Framework document and a personal onboarding call before their first publication. This ensures every member understands the framework, the service, and the general advice basis on which all information is provided.

The Weekly Publication

Delivered every Sunday evening. Regime assessment, active watchlist with framework setup status, alerts from the prior week, open signal log, exits. The operational document that keeps members prepared without requiring daily market attention.

The Post-Close Alert

Issued prior to the open of the following session when an opportunity presents. Stock code, entry model confirmed, framework reference levels, volume confirmation. The alert describes a completed market event — not a forward-looking recommendation. Members apply the framework independently and act at their own discretion.

The Monthly Briefing

A closed session with John once per month. Regime in depth. Watchlist rationale. Forward conditions. Member questions. Not recorded for public distribution. Available to members only for 30 days after each session. This is the access component of the service - unavailable outside membership at any price.

The Annual Record

Delivered once per year. Every signal. Every outcome. Complete hit rate, average gain on winners, average loss on stopped-out trades, regime state at each signal. No selective reporting. The record is published as it stands - wins and losses both.
