Market overview
After recording strong gains in October, the Australian equity market fell slightly in November dragged lower in part by resource companies impacted by falling commodity prices and a weak Australian dollar. The S&P/ASX All Ordinaries Accumulation Index ended the month down 0.7%. The Australian sharemarket has traded in a 20% range over the last 12 months and as we approach the end of the year looks likely to close 2015 flat.
Overall economic conditions are good. Latest labour force figures showed unemployment dropped from 6.2% to 5.9% and levels of employment surged. While capital expenditure fell sharply due to the slow-down in the mining sector, business confidence remains robust, buoyed by the ‘Turnbull Effect’. In our view, companies are now more likely to authorise capital expenditure in the months ahead. In his statement on monetary policy, the Reserve Bank of Australia Governor noted: “the prospects for an improvement in economic conditions had firmed a little over recent months.”
Strong retail trade figures recently released reflect solid consumer confidence and we expect good trading conditions over the Christmas period which will benefit Australian retailers.
We maintain conservative levels of cash in the investment portfolio which gives us the opportunity to capitalise on various opportunities as they arise in the market while allowing us to preserve capital.

Dividends
==> picture [142 x 105] intentionally omitted <==
On 30 October 2015, the Company paid a fully franked final dividend for FY15 of 2.5 cents per share. The Directors intend to pay an interim dividend in FY2016, which will be announced with the release of WAA’s half year results in February 2016, 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 usually paid on a six-monthly basis and the dividend reinvestment plan is available to shareholders for both the interim and final dividend.
