Cadence Opportunities Fund returned a positive gross performance of 2.3% in June, outperforming the All Ordinaries Accumulation Index by 0.4%. The top contributors to performance during June were Sierra Rutile, Iris Energy, Meta Platforms, QBE Insurance, BHP Group, Capstone Copper and Netflix. The largest detractors from performance were Resolute Mining, Patriot Battery Metals and Strike Energy. Cadence Opportunities Fund continues to be conservatively positioned with gross exposure of 67% and 54% of its investable portfolio in cash.
In June, the share price uptrend in Meta Platforms, Netflix and Iris Energy continued, and we added to all three positions in line with our investment process. Netflix estimates that there are about 100 million people using Netflix by borrowing a friend or family member’s password, and they have recently announced initiatives to convert these users to paying customers, which we expect will have a positive impact on its upcoming financial results. Meta Platforms also announced Thread as a potential competitor to Twitter in June.

To put it another way, the shares in the portfolio can be bought at a 20% discount to their underlying value.
