Market overview
The Australian equity market closed up 3.0% this month, after rallying 5.2% in the last two weeks of January. This was mainly driven by the European Central Bank's announcement of further stimulus. The quantitative easing programme will see the ECB buy over €1 trillion of government bonds until September 2016, an announcement that came at the top end of market expectations.
Investment objectives
-
Deliver a regular income stream via fully franked dividends
-
Provide a positive return with low volatility, after fees, over most periods of time
-
Preserve capital
Company overview
WAM Active Limited (ASX: WAA) is a Listed Investment Company managed by Wilson Asset Management Group. Listed in January 2008, WAA provides investors with exposure to an active trading style with the aim of achieving a sound return with a low correlation to traditional markets.
Investment & Management Team
Locally, the CPI figure announced 28 January was weaker than expected, which contributed to the Reserve Bank of Australia’s decision to reduce the cash rate to 2.25% in February. As expected, this has been positive for equity markets where at the time of writing the market has rallied 12% since mid December.
As we enter into corporate earnings season, we will be meeting with over 100 companies to get a updated understanding of their businesses and the broad economic conditions, which will help shape our decision making for the year ahead. We expect to see the positive impact of the looser monetary policy on company earnings and the wider economy in the later part of 2015. Our investment portfolio remains well positioned to take advantage of opportunities as they arise.

Dividends
==> picture [142 x 105] intentionally omitted <==
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 usually paid on a six-monthly basis and the dividend reinvestment plan is available to shareholders for both the interim and final dividend.
On 24 October 2014, the Company paid a fully franked final dividend of 4.8 cents per share. This brings the FY14 full year fully franked dividend to 9.6 cents per share.
