Investment Commentary
Pre-tax NTA increased by 1.30 cents in August to $1.2134, a return of +1.08% for the month and the third consecutive positive monthly performance.
Overall, we experienced a reasonable if not solid reporting period from our Portfolio Companies. Particularly strong results were reported by Macmahon Holdings and Count where both deserve a meaningful re-rating and continue to trade at bargain prices. BCI Minerals led overall performance as it continued to progress financing milestones and offtake agreements as it advances towards the final funding stage for the Mardie Project.
Other positive contributions came from Lumos Diagnostics, Macmahon Holdings and Count. Negative contributions came from SRG Global and Austin Engineering, despite both results being broadly inline.
The Company buyback was active, purchasing 81,869 shares during the month at an average price of $1.00 per share – noting RYD went ex a final 4.25 cent fully franked dividend during the month.
Portfolio activity continued to focus on adding to cash by trimming positions in Imdex, Fineos and SRG Global while we completed exiting LGI, netting approximately $950k in cash. Portfolio cash increased from $11.6m (11.51%) to $12.3 (12.15%) noting our ETF position was valued at $1.69m (1.66%) at month end.
