Market overview
The Australian equity market experienced its worst start to the calendar year since January 2010, with the S&P/ASX All Ordinaries Accumulation Index falling 5.4%. Concerns around global economic growth and a continued slowdown in China drove the decline in equity markets. China’s equity market was particularly volatile during the month and fell 223% as investors reacted poorly to the unexpected devaluation of the Yuan, softer economic data and tighter capital controls.
The continued deterioration in commodity prices placed downward pressure on the Australian equity market during the month. Oil prices fell 4.7% in January following on from a 15.6% fall in December. The falling commodity prices hurt also the Australian dollar, which fell to a seven-year low during the month. Unsurprisingly, the defensive sectors – utilities, telecommunications and consumer staples – outperformed the index in January.
Corporate earnings season is now underway and so far the results have been mixed and outlooks statements guarded. We expect the difficult conditions will continue and have taken profits on a number of positions throughout January and February to increase our cash weighting. This provides us with the ability to act on opportunities as they emerge.

Dividend growth
==> picture [142 x 104] 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.
