Market overview

The poor performance of the Australian equity market continued in September with the S&P/ASX All Ordinaries Accumulation Index falling 2.5%. The first quarter of the 2015-16 financial year was the worst quarter since 2011 with a 5.8% fall. The domestic resources and energy sectors lagged and the banks continued their fall after strong outperformance in recent years.

The Reserve Bank of Australia opted to hold the cash rate steady at its meeting on 6 October 2015. We believe over the next year we will see further reductions to the cash rate. There are growing calls for more interest rate cuts to drive corporate earnings growth and lift consumer confidence given the softness of recent economic data in Australia.

Despite the heightened volatility and recent poor performance in equities, our cash levels will assist us in preserving capital while also providing the flexibility to act on opportunities as they emerge. We have been selectively adding to positions in recent weeks with the share market now 18% off the late April highs.

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.
