Cadence Capital Limited returned a negative gross performance of 2.3% in December, outperforming the All Ordinaries Accumulation Index by 1.0% for the month. Year to date the fund is up 3.9%, compared to the All Ordinaries Accumulation Index which is up 9.6% for the same period. The largest detractors from performance during the month were Syrah Resources, Renascor Resources, Citi Chic Collective, Life360 and Tietto Minerals. The top contributors to performance were Melbana Energy, Sayona Mining, Health and Happiness International, New Hope Corp and Terracom.
Markets declined through December following the gains recorded in the previous two months, continuing the pattern of volatility seen through much of 2022. This month saw defensive and large-cap style companies outperforming while technology and EV battery metal related stocks were sold off. As such, the fund’s holdings across graphite related companies such as Syrah Resources and Renascor Resources detracted from performance in December however have contributed positively to returns in recent months. A further downgrade from City Chic Collective also impacted performance despite the company trading at a discount to its net working capital. Coal equities on the other hand recovered through the month in line with the coal price. This remains a trend we are monitoring closely.
The re-opening of the Chinese economy continued to gain traction through the month, with the fund increasing its holdings across Health & Happiness, A2 Milk, Tencent and Alibaba as these share prices recovered from depressed levels. The portfolio has also been scaling into trends that have been emerging in precious metals such as Bellevue Gold, St Barbara and Chalice Mining.
