INVESTMENT UPDATE
NOVEMBER 2023

Cadence Capital Limited returned a positive gross performance of 0.4% in November, underperforming the All Ordinaries Accumulation Index by 4.8% for the month. Year to date Cadence Capital Limited has returned 1% compared to the All Ordinaries Accumulation Index which is up 0.5% for the same period. The top contributors to performance during November were Meta Platforms, Netflix, Tietto Minerals, BHP, Capstone Copper and Pantoro. The largest detractors from performance were Sierra Rutile, Whitehaven Coal, New Hope and AMP.

Capstone Copper performed well in November with its shares rising 18% over the month, compared to a 5% increase in the copper price over the same period. The company is scheduled to complete the expansion of its Mantoverde mine in Chile this year, which will see the mine triple its copper production once the ramp up phase is complete.

We discussed at our AGM that during October Tietto Minerals received a takeover offer from its second largest shareholder, for 58 cents per share, which was a 38% premium to the share price at the time.  On the 6 of December the takeover offer was extended until the 12 of January. Tietto shares have continued to trade above the offer price which suggests an improved offer is likely.

CDM Share Price discount to NTA

At the time of writing this newsletter, CDM is trading at a pre-tax NTA discount of around 15% whilst holding high cash balances. If all the shares in the portfolio fell by 20%, the pre-tax NTA would still be above the share price. To put it another way, the shares in the portfolio can be bought at a 20% discount to their underlying value.
