Market overview

The S&P/ASX All Ordinaries Accumulation Index (‘Index’) fell 1.4% in June to finish the 2014 financial year up 17.6%. The Index is now up a remarkable 42% since its last low in June 2012 driven higher by investors seeking yield as interest rates remain at historical lows. During the month, the Reserve Bank of Australia kept the cash rate at 2.5% with Governor Stevens’ language indicating rates would stay at these levels for a prolonged period. Ahead of the reporting season, numerous retailers downgraded their profit forecasts reflecting tougher trading conditions due to weaker consumer confidence following the May Federal Budget.

Economic data continues to provide evidence of a sustainable recovery in the United States prompting the Federal Reserve to announce last week that its stimulatory bond buying program would be completed by October this year. Although a survey of the members of the central bank have indicated they expect US interest rates will start to rise early in the new calendar year, we expect this will occur sooner.

We maintain our cautious stance towards Australia’s equity market in the near term as reflected by the investment portfolio’s higher than average cash weighting. We are confident that despite prevailing market conditions, opportunities will continue to present themselves and our current cash levels position us well to capitalise on these as they arise.

Dividend growth

The Board is committed to paying an increasing stream of fully franked dividends to shareholders, provided the Company has sufficient profit reserves and franking credits, and it is within prudent business practices. The Company’s ability to generate franking credits is dependent upon the receipt of franked dividends from investments and the payment of tax. Dividends are paid on a six-monthly basis and the dividend reinvestment plan is available to shareholders for both the interim and final dividend.

On 30 April 2014 the Company paid a fully franked interim dividend of 4.8 cents per share.
