Market overview
The Australian equity market closed the year on a high rallying strongly in the final two weeks to finish the calendar year up 5%. Consumer sentiment and unemployment figures released during the month both pointed to weaker conditions domestically, while the Australian Dollar continued its decline to finish at its lowest level since June 2010.
Overseas the S&P500 Index hit new record highs while the Dow Jones Industrial Average Index reached 18,000 for the first time in history. The falling oil price dragged on global markets with no respite to the current oversupply. The lower oil price will be a stimulatory factor for the global economy in the short to medium term.
As we move into 2015, we remain cautious on the Australian economy and sharemarket. We believe interest rate cuts will be forthcoming this year on the back of weaker inflation data and the higher unemployment rate. This could provide stimulus to equity markets to move higher, however the impact on company earnings remains to be seen. We expect once again that the market for IPOs will stay strong for the next six months along with a heightened level of M&A activity in the new year with corporate balance sheets in great shape. Our investment portfolio remains well positioned to take advantage of opportunities as they arise.

Dividends
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.
