Market overview

The S&P/ASX All Ordinaries Accumulation Index gained 3.1% for the month.

Global equity markets fell early in the month but rallied following commentary from the US Federal Reserve, which indicated a possible rate hike in June. The comments spurred the domestic market, which was also boosted by a rate cut and dovish inflation outlook from the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA).

Australia’s major banks reported interim results or trading updates, which showed structural and cyclical headwinds still remain in the sector. The bank sector outperformed on the back of the rate cut, lifting the overall index during the month.

We remain cautious on the short-term performance of the Australian equity market. Our cash levels ensure we are well positioned to find opportunities in the market as they arise.

Dividend growth

==> picture [123 x 88] intentionally omitted <==

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.
