Market overview

The S&P/ASX All Ordinaries Accumulation Index closed down 5.4% in June leading to a below average return for the financial year of 6%. The index suffered from a fall in oil and iron ore prices, earnings downgrades and international uncertainty arising from the ongoing Greek debt crisis. Having fallen 8% since the late April highs, the Australian market is approaching a technical correction.

International equity markets were highly volatile over the month as the Eurozone instability forced a global sell off in equities. Greece and its European Union and International Monetary Fund (IMF) creditors failed to break their deadlock in the lead up to a 30 June 2015 payment deadline. Greece then became the first developed nation to default on an IMF loan when it missed the deadline. European markets faired worst as a result with the FTSE100 losing 6.7% and the German DAX down 4.1% for the month. In the US the S&P500 fell 2.1% while the Dow Jones dropped 2.2% despite the release of positive economic data and the potential further delay of monetary tightening from the US Federal Reserve.

Notwithstanding the market’s recent weakness, we believe valuations remain full. With our above average cash levels, we remain well positioned to seize on opportunities as they arise.

Capital Management – Return of Capital

On 26 February 2015, the Board of WAM Active announced the intention to pay shareholders a 4.0 cents per share Return of Capital. As at 31 December 2014, the Company’s net assets were less than issued capital. The Directors recognise investors have cash flow needs and therefore declared a 4.0 cents per share Return of Capital, which was approved by shareholders at an Extraordinary General Meeting held in Sydney on 19 May 2015. WAM Active traded exReturn of Capital on 21 May 2015 and the payment was made on 1 June 2015.

Dividends

The Board did not declared an interim dividend for the half year to 31 December 2014. While the Board is committed to paying an increasing stream of fully franked dividends to shareholders, this is dependent on the Company having sufficient profit reserves and the payment being within prudent business practices. When a dividend is declared, it is usually paid on a six-monthly basis.
