Cadence Capital Limited returned a negative gross performance of 0.3% in the month of September, compared to the All Ordinaries Accumulation Index which was down 3.4% over the same period. The fund has had a good start to the new financial year, returning 13.2% outperforming the All Ordinaries Accumulation Index by 12.1% during this period. The largest contributors to performance during September were Resimac Group, Webcentral Group, Pinterest Inc, Citadel Group and Shine Justice Ltd.

The Company will be releasing its September webcast in the coming weeks. This webcast will give shareholders an update on the fund’s performance, dividends, its current portfolio positioning, discount to NTA, current investment themes and market outlook.

In August 2020, the Company announced its full year results and a 2.0 cents fully franked final dividend. This brought the 2020 fully franked full year dividend up to 4.0 cents per share equating to a 5.7% annual fully franked yield, or an 8.1% gross yield based on the CDM share price on the date of the announcement. The Ex-Date for the dividend is the 19th October 2020 and the payment date for the dividend is the 30th October 2020. The dividend re-investment plan (DRP) is not in operation for this final dividend as the Company’s shares are currently trading at a large discount to the underlying NTA per share of the Company. The Company has implemented an on-market share buy-back which increases the NTA per share for all existing Cadence Capital Limited shareholders.

At 30 September 2020, the Company was 78.0% invested.
