MONTHLY UPDATE FEBRUARY 2017
==> picture [394 x 84] intentionally omitted <==
During February the pre-tax NTA of the Alternatives Fund increased by 0.28 cents per share, or 0.25%, to $1.0945. The gain was the result of growth in the value of the Blue Sky Water Fund, as well as an uplift in the value of the residential development at Duke Street, Kangaroo Point.
During the month, several quarterly and half year income distributions were received from underlying funds. No new investments or realisations were made in February.
INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE
- Blue Sky Water Fund
The Alternatives Fund’s investment in the Blue Sky Water Fund increased 0.72% in February.[5] Almost all of the Water Entitlements held in the portfolio appreciated over the last month. The price of Water Allocations softened slightly, however the effect was negligible as the Blue Sky Water Fund has now sold the vast majority of its Water Allocations for FY17.
- Duke Street Kangaroo Point Trust
The Duke Street Kangaroo Point Trust is developing a 125 apartment development in Kangaroo Point (known as The Duke). Construction of the project is progressing well with the contractor completing the structure to full height during the month. The carrying value of the Alternatives Fund’s investment in the Duke Street Kangaroo Point Trust increased by 10% in February after meeting project milestones during the month.
The project is expected to reach completion in the second half of CY17.
DISTRIBUTIONS
In early February, the Alternatives Fund received cash distributions from the following funds (which were accrued in December 2016):
-
Blue Sky Hotel Fund – a 2.5% quarterly distribution;
-
Blue Sky Aquila Fund – a 2.5% dividend in respect of 1H FY17; and
-
Blue Sky Water Fund – a 2.5% interim distribution in respect of 1H FY17.
NEW INVESTMENTS
The Alternatives Fund did not make any new investments in February.
INTERIM DIVIDEND TO SHAREHOLDERS
On 10 February 2017, the Alternatives Fund’s Board was pleased to announce a maiden interim dividend of 1.0 cent per share fully franked in respect of the half-year ended 31 December 2016.
The record date for the dividend was 2 March 2017 and will be paid to shareholders on 21 March 2017.
The Alternatives Fund’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan applies to this dividend and was available to eligible shareholders who elected to participate prior to 5.00pm AEDT on 3 March 2017. Shares issued under the DRP will be at a 4.0% discount to the volume-weighted average price on the five trading days between 6 March 2017 and 10 March 2017 (inclusive).
As announced on 26 May 2016, the Alternatives Fund is committed to paying annual dividends targeting at least 4.0% of closing post-tax NTA for each financial year, franked to the highest extent possible (provided the Alternatives Fund has sufficient profit and cash flow to do so).
- The monthly return reported by the Alternatives Fund is on a post-tax basis and will differ to that separately reported by the Blue Sky Water Fund which is on a pre-tax basis.
