Market overview
The S&P/ASX All Ordinaries Accumulation Index closed down 1.5% in April. The banking sector weighed heavily on the market late in the month, as it reacted negatively to news of potential regulatory tightening. This led to one of the sharpest falls in a day this calendar year, wiping $20 billion off the banking sector’s market capitalisation. Unsurprisingly Westpac Banking Corporation (ASX: WBC), Commonwealth Bank of Australia (ASX: CBA), Australia and New Zealand Banking Group (ASX: ANZ) and National Australia Bank (ASX: NAB) were the biggest detractors from the index in the month.
US markets continued to rally with the S&P500 gaining 0.9% and the Nasdaq 0.8% higher at the end of the month. This came despite poor US economic data with employment, inflation and GDP data weaker than expected, leading investors to once again push out expectations of an interest rate rise from the US Federal Reserve. European equity markets experienced a positive month, with strong company earnings supporting the region. China’s markets surprised during the month, with the Shanghai composite posting a 18.5% gain despite slowing growth.
Our outlook for the remainder of the year is mixed as we believe valuations are full, notwithstanding the likelihood of further rate cuts. The market continues to experience increasing initial public offering activity and we are actively monitoring and participating in 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 have declared a 4.0 cents per share Return of Capital, which is subject to shareholder approval at an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM). The EGM will be held on 19 May 2015 at the Wesley Conference Centre, Wesley Theatre, 220 Pitt Street Sydney from 9.00am to 9.30am.
Key Return of Capital dates
EGM to approve Return of Capital: 19 May 2015 Ex date (subject to shareholder approval): 21 May 2015 Record date (subject to shareholder approval): 25 May 2015 Payment date (subject to shareholder approval): 1 June 2015
Dividends
The Board has 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.
