Cadence Capital Limited returned a gross positive performance of 1.1% in October, compared to the All Ordinaries Accumulation Index which was up 5.7% for the month. Year to date the fund is up 7.8%, outperforming the All Ordinaries Accumulation Index by 1.3%. The top contributors to performance during the month were Syrah Resources, Tietto Minerals, Stanmore Coal, AMP and Fortescue Metals Group. The largest detractors from performance were Terracom, AJ Lucas Group and Australian Pacific Coal.
The Australian market has performed poorly over the past six months as interest rates continued to rise. However, markets staged a strong recovery in October driven by large price increases in Financials (up 12%), Oil and Gas (up around 10%) and Real Estate (up around 9%). However, the thermal coal price fell significantly in October after a prolonged two-year rally. This affected Australian producers such as Whitehaven Coal, New Hope, Terracom and Stanmore to a lesser extent. These stocks have been major positive contributors to the fund’s performance over the past two years. We have reduced the size of coal positions in the portfolio and will continue to do so if the coal price and coal producers trend lower. Resource stocks performed well for the fund and were added to, whilst short positions also aided performance.
Fully Franked Year-End Dividend
During the month the Company paid its 4.0 cents per share fully franked year-end dividend bringing the full year dividend to 8.0 cents per share fully franked. This full year dividend of 8.0 cents per share fully franked equates to an 8.3% fully franked yield or a 11.9% gross yield (grossed up for franking credits) based on the September month end share price of $0.96 per share. After paying this dividend the Company still has around 25 cents per share of profits reserves to pay future dividends.
