July 2026 - Monthly REPORT

Fundamentals rewarded as momentum unwinds

SUMMARY

The Fund was up 2.8% in July, continuing its strong run as the market rotated to reward fundamentals and cash flow over momentum and thematics. In comparison, the ASX All Ordinaries Accumulation Index rose 1.7%, and the RBA cash rate +6% benchmark increased 0.8%.

In the shadow of renewed hostilities in the Middle East, energy and financials bounced back while IT and Industrials lagged. Ampol, NAB, NIB Holdings and Aristocrat drove the Fund’s performance.

To summarise this month’s update, Marketing Manager Aiden James sat down with CIO and Senior Fund Manager Rhett Kessler to discuss the Fund’s July performance, key portfolio contributors and detractors, a new addition to the portfolio, and how the team is positioning cash levels heading into reporting season.

COMMENTARY

The resumption of hostilities in the Middle East drove energy stocks higher. Investors rotating out of AI enablers found refuge in the banks, while Technology and Materials stocks were the weakest performers.

The Fund performance was led by Ampol. While it benefited from short term geopolitical volatility, we see more lasting impacts on global refining supply and an undervalued core retail business. Our holdings in NAB and Westpac contributed positively as the market appreciated their defensiveness. Similarly, health insurer NIB Holdings and debt services business Credit Corp Group were rewarded for continuing to show resilience during uncertain times. More broadly, our Industrials exposure, particularly to the robust US economic activity, has been rewarded for its strong earnings.

Dragging on performance were Evolution Mining, despite gold prices stabilising, and Maas Group, which has become more volatile as it transitions towards servicing the data centre builders.

Two new names were introduced to the portfolio in July. Cleanaway Waste Management is a company that operates in the structurally growing recycling market and has finally turned that growth into the cash flow that appeals to us. Flight Centre has been hit with fears of AI disintermediation and the impact of Middle Eastern flight disruptions. Whilst the disruption will pass, AI is becoming more opportunity than risk for a company that has embraced these tools to be able to offer better services more efficiently, especially to their growing international corporate customer base. Ramsay Health Care has rerated sharply as the Healthscope break up gets resolved, utilisation rates improve and it recontracts with Private Health Insurers. We have taken profits on this value realisation.

As we enter another reporting season, we expect volatility and have cash levels of close to 10% to take advantage of opportunities. Our focus on what cash flow we can generate from a dollar is the perfect lens for this current business cycle as growth increasingly comes with capital investment and interest rates stay higher for longer. For us, the opportunities will continue to be found in high-quality businesses led by proven management teams and supported by resilient cash flows that can flourish regardless of the thematics.

Description

The Pengana Australian Equities Fund aims to enhance and preserve investor wealth over a 5- year period via a concentrated core portfolio of principally Australian listed securities. The Fund uses fundamental research to evaluate investments capable of generating the target return over the medium term. Essentially, we are in the business of seeking to preserve capital and make money – we are not in the business of trying to beat the market. We remain focused on acquiring and holding investments that offer predictable, sustainable and well-stewarded after-tax cash earnings yields in excess of 6% that will grow to double digit levels as a percentage of our original entry price in five years. We believe that building a well-diversified portfolio of these “gifts that keep on giving” represents a meaningful way to create and preserve financial independence for our co-investors.
