INVESTMENT UPDATE
OCTOBER 2018
For the month of October 2018, Cadence Capital Limited returned a negative gross performance of 9.4%, compared to a decrease in the All Ordinaries Accumulation Index of 6.5%. October was a volatile month with global markets recording the worst monthly return since 2012. Market participants are grappling with the prospect of increasing US interest rates against the relatively strong economic growth backdrop. The fund’s underperformance was driven primarily by its holdings in a number of small and mid-capitalization companies, with the Small Ordinaries Accumulation Index down 9.6% during the month. In our September 2018 Quarterly Webcast a detailed update was given on ARQ group. At our upcoming AGM and Investor Briefing (see details below) we will be giving a detailed update on this holding and will also be discussing some other large holdings.

Our AGM and Investor Briefing will be held at the Museum of Sydney, Warrane Theatre, Corner of Bridge and Phillip Streets, Sydney, NSW 2000 at 2:00pm (AEDT) on Thursday 22nd November 2018. If you would like to dial into the AGM remotely, please click here to register.
