Market overview
The S&P/ASX All Ordinaries Accumulation Index closed down 1.5% in April. The banking sector weighed heavily on the market late in the month, as it reacted negatively to news of potential regulatory tightening. This led to one of the sharpest falls in a day this calendar year, wiping $20 billion off the banking sector’s market capitalisation. Unsurprisingly Westpac Banking Corporation (ASX: WBC), Commonwealth Bank of Australia (ASX: CBA), Australia and New Zealand Banking Group (ASX: ANZ) and National Australia Bank (ASX: NAB) were the biggest detractors from the index in the month.

Company overview
WAM Capital Limited (ASX: WAM), one of Australia’s leading Listed Investment Companies, is managed by Wilson Asset Management. Listed in August 1999, WAM Capital provides investors with exposure to an actively managed diversified portfolio of undervalued growth companies, which are generally small-to-medium sized industrial companies listed on the Australian Securities Exchange. WAM Capital also provides exposure to relative value arbitrages and market mispricing opportunities.
Investment & Management Team
US markets continued to rally with the S&P500 gaining 0.9% and the Nasdaq 0.8% higher at the end of the month. This came despite poor US economic data with employment, inflation and GDP data weaker than expected, leading investors to once again push out expectations of an interest rate rise from the US Federal Reserve. European equity markets experienced a positive month, with strong company earnings supporting the region. China’s markets surprised during the month, with the Shanghai composite posting a 18.5% gain despite slowing growth.
Our outlook for the remainder of the year is mixed as we believe valuations are full, notwithstanding the likelihood of further rate cuts. The market continues to experience increasing initial public offering activity and we are actively monitoring and participating in 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.
