Investment Commentary

Pre-tax NTA for April rose by 16.87 cents to $1.5265 or +12.42%, achieved despite retaining a high allocation to cash. Relative performance has remained strong throughout the recent market volatility consistent with our focus on risk.

April saw equity markets continue to rally off the panicked mid-March lows, as such performance across the portfolio was strong with Aurelia Metals Limited, Macmahon Holdings Limited, Betmakers Limited, SRG Global Limited, and NextDC Limited all performing well.

We continued to deploy cash cautiously, initiating a limited number of new positions whilst adding selectively to existing holdings. We supported the NextDC Limited capital raise, providing us the opportunity to rebuild our position to pre-crisis levels reflecting a more constructive view on their medium to long term post-COVID prospects.

Several smaller positions were exited while we continue to evaluate businesses that have become challenged versus those that can survive and/or thrive going forward.

About Ryder Capital Limited

Cash holdings decreased nominally from $17.9m to $15.0m as we actively deployed cash, whilst falling on a relative basis from 22.4% to 16.7%.

In terms of outlook, we remain cautious and what can best be described as sitting firmly on the fence waiting for opportunities as they inevitably arise.

Investment Strategy & Objectives

  • Absolute return, value driven fundamental approach
  • Exceed RBA Cash rate + 4.25% p.a. over the medium
  • to longer term • Concentrated portfolio < 20 stocks
  • ASX listed small/micro cap focus
  • Medium to long term capital growth

Ryder Capital Limited (Company) was listed in September 2015 and is managed by Ryder Investment Management Pty Limited (Manager) a Sydney based boutique fund manager pursuing a high conviction value driven investment strategy specialising in small to mid-cap Australasian equities. The Manager's approach is differentiated by investing for the medium to longer term; being aligned as significant shareholders in the Company; and being focused on generating strong absolute returns first and foremost. A key foundation to the Manager's success to date has been to minimise mistakes, ignore the crowd and back their judgement.
