Investment Commentary
The pre-tax undiluted NTA for the month of December increased by 10.1% to $1.5495. This material movement refects an appreciation across a number of our key holdings during the month. Early in January, Boardriders Inc. confrmed by way of a binding proposal their intention to acquire the remaining shares in Billabong International Limited (BBG) they do not own at $1.00 per share. We remain deeply disappointed by the BBG Directors decision to unanimously recommend the sale of the business at such a derisory equity valuation. As the largest independent shareholder we continue to work through our position to infuence the outcome of this takeover (which we feel we can achieve with limited support from other like-minded shareholders). Cash holdings for the period remained broadly static in nominal terms, although as a percentage of the portfolio cash declined due to the equity portfolios material appreciation for the month. We continue to trim selected positions where valuations have met or exceeded our view of intrinsic worth which will add both nominally and relatively to cash weightings over the coming month(s).
