April 2025 - Monthly REPORT

April Report

SUMMARY

The month of April saw enormous volatility caused by the Trump administration’s tariff policies. Liberation Day. Investors, already jittery due to stretched valuations, voted with their feet, causing global markets to fall sharply. In true whiplash style, at the first hint of deal making before tariff implementation emerged, markets recovered.

We recently recorded an investor update where CIO and Senior Fund Manager Rhett Kessler shares how the Pengana Australian Equities Fund is navigating market cycles, covering performance, outlook, key holdings, and investor questions.

COMMENTARY

The Fund experienced a significantly smoother month, returning a healthy 2.7%. By way of comparison, the ASX All Ords Index and the RBA Cash rate plus 6% benchmark returned 3.6% and 0.8% respectively.

Key positive contributors included Stockland, Evolution Mining, Telstra, ResMed and NAB. The larger detractors included Amcor, Ryman Healthcare and Light & Wonder.

As discussed during the prior month’s newsletter, the Fund continued to take advantage of the materially more attractive entry points of several high-quality companies with resilient business models. Recent new investments include Amcor, IAG, Ampol, Mirvac, Ramsay Healthcare, Westpac, Bluescope Steel and James Hardie.

A common theme of these companies is the significant valuation underpinning provided by the after-tax free cash flows. On several occasions, our research was rewarded by an investment event that created the investment opportunity without detracting from the medium-term underlying value of the business. An excellent example would be IAG, which delivered a strong and extremely conservative insurance result. Management, likely mindful of the upcoming election and, chose not to upgrade their earnings outlook. The momentum players took the view that the short-term insurance cycle had peaked and sold the company off heavily. A detailed analysis of the balance sheet highlighted the conservative nature of the underlying earnings, allowing us to accumulate a material position at an attractive price.

In summary, our discipline in retaining excess cash during a period of excessive valuations has provided the Fund with ample opportunities to deploy substantial capital into attractively priced, highly cash generative companies. The Fund closed the month with 8.5% in cash, despite a meaningful inflow from the sale of our 7% holding in SG Fleet. We maintain a comfortable level of firepower to continue taking advantage of additional opportunities.

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.
