Market overview
The Australian equity market improved in October as it came close to recovering the 5.8% fall in the first quarter of the 2015-16 financial year. The S&P/ASX All Ordinaries Accumulation Index gained 4.6% for the month, the best monthly performance in over two years.
Economic data released included below consensus inflation figures leading to speculation of an interest rate cut by the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) on Melbourne Cup day, which did not eventuate. The decision by the major Australian banks to raise mortgage rates increases our view that the RBA may lower the cash rate in the coming months. With mortgage holders effectively receiving a rate rise, we will be monitoring closely the impact this may have on consumer sentiment and the broader economy.
Our discussions with various companies that we have visited recently have been consistent in their feedback with economic conditions remaining patchy. The mining sector remains very weak while select retail stocks continue to benefit from low interest rates. It appears this housing cycle has peaked and as such we have seen stocks in this sector underperform over the last six months. Recent falls in auction clearance rates in Sydney are a clear sign of this.
We believe that in this subdued economic environment investment opportunities will continue to present themselves. We remain well positioned with our high levels of cash to preserve capital and take opportunities as they arise.

Dividend growth
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.
