AMCIL’s Approach

Focused portfolio covering large and small companies.

Aim is to provide:

  • attractive returns through strong capital growth over the medium to long term; and

  • the generation of fully franked income.

Our size means small companies can have an equally important impact on portfolio returns as large ones.

Use of the trading portfolio and buy and write option strategies to generate additional fully franked income.

Changes to Tax Legislation – Franking Credits

  • The Federal Government has proposed retrospective legislation to prevent Investment Companies claiming the lower company tax rate until 2023–24.

  • If enacted, AMCIL will continue to pay tax at 30%, and frank its dividends at 30% until 2023–24.

  • This includes the 3.5 cent final dividend (franked at 27.5%), paid to shareholders in August 2017. If legislation is confirmed, AMCIL will re-issue a dividend statement before the end of the financial year.

  • What does it mean for franking credits? – assuming a dividend of $100:

  • previous dividend with franking credits at 27.5% of $37.93 will be replaced.

  • new statement showing dividend of $100 with franking credits at 30% of $42.86.

  • does not change shares issued under DRP or cash payment.

How we have gone about Positioning the Portfolio

  • Larger companies offering growth and/or income through the use of buy and write option strategies.

  • Companies with good prospects for expansion:

  • very good management,

  • credible growth; and

  • unique product positions

  • Opportunities where value is more immediately on offer.
