LISTED INVESTMENT COMPANIES Quantitative Report DISCOUNT TO NTA MOVES BELOW HISTORICAL AVERAGE Listed investment companies are essentially listed equivalents of managed funds but have higher levels of transparency, tend to charge lower fees than its unlisted counterparts and are closed end funds. This means investors buy and sell the LIC vehicle so the LIC managers are not under pressure to meet redemptions. A key risk is that LICs cannot be redeemed for its underlying face value and share prices may deviate significantly from its underlying NTA. 17 June 2016 Analyst: Phone: Email: Kien Trinh (+61 3) 9242 4027 ktrinh@psl.com.au This report compares 44 different LICs and identifies those that are most attractive on a number of quantitative measures including price to NTA, dividend yield, NTA growth, and total returns. The key criterion in the evaluation of a LIC is its track record. Those with the best long-term performances (measured by total return, dividends and NTA growth) are the ones that are likely to give the best future returns. In the Appendix, we provide a list of top 20 holdings and a historical price to NTA chart for each LIC. Key Ideas: • Most Expensive Domestic LICs – Those that are considered most expensive are Djerriwarrh (DJW), Cadence Capital (CDM) and WAM Capital (WAM), and Australian Leaders (ALF). Dividend yield remains a key reason for demand. • Most Attractive - For investors who would like exposure to the small/ mid Cap growth space, WAM Research (WAX) represents an ideal investment. However, with a share price premium to NTA of 11%, we would wait until the premium declines to about 5% before taking action. Both Whitefield (WHF) and AMCIL (AMH) are attractively priced but we prefer AMH because it is more actively managed. Among the smaller LICs, Flagship Investments (FSI), which has achieved a 9% growth in NTA over the last five years, is trading at a 20% discount to NTA. • Global concerns, especially with the upcoming Brexit have led to a slowdown in demand for Global LICs. Both Magellan Flagship (MFF) and Templeton Global (TGG) appear inexpensive. Hunter Hall (HHV) is currently trading at an 13% discount to NTA and is ideal for those who want exposure to mid/small cap global companies. Currently PM Capital (PMC) is trading at a 4% premium to its May NTA. Among the newer global LICs, Platinum Asian Fund (PAI) looks inexpensive, trading at a 4% discount to NTA. • For the quarter to May 2016, the Australian rose by 11.5%. The LICs that had large exposures to resources such as Djerriwarrh (DJW), Aberdeen Leaders (ALR), Diversified United (DUI), and Westoz (WIC) performed well. Over five years, the domestic LICs that reported the strongest NTA growth were CIN, WAX, MIR and WAM. • Investors should not buy LICs on yield alone as some of the top paying dividend LICs have delivered poor NTA growth. For sustainable dividend yields, we recommend ALF (fully franked net yield of 7.0%), WAM (6.6%), and WAX (6.1%). • We have initiated coverage on Bailador Tech (BTI), Perpetual Equity (PIC), Barrack St Investments (BST) and the Global Value Fund (GVF). BTI invests in emerging tech companies and has achieved NTA growth of 6% over the year. PIC is trading at a 12% discount to NTA. Meanwhile, BST is currently under appreciated due to an upcoming August 2016 options expiry. For the year to May, BST has grown its NTA by 14.2% well above the market return of 1.2%. GVF is trading at a 6% discount to NTA and provides diversification benefits to portfolios because it invests in global alternatives such as LICs, hedge funds, private equity and real estate.

For conservative investors wishing to match or possibly beat the long-term returns of the All Ordinaries Index, especially those with a limited amount of capital, a number of LICs can provide the necessary spread of investments. Although many investors focus on whether a LIC is trading at a discount or premium to net tangible asset backing (NTA), in reality, the better performing LICs trade at a premium and the poor performers often trade at deep discounts. The removal of trailing commissions from unlisted mutual funds will provide a renewed focus on the listed investment funds sector. As closed end funds, the LIC managers do not have to sell stock at the bottom of bear markets to meet redemptions when prices are low and, conversely, they do not need to buy stock when prices are high. This allows a LIC to concentrate on investment selection without having to factor in the consequences of money leaving the fund unexpectedly (as in the case of a managed fund). In addition, LICs have the potential to pass on franking credits to shareholders. Most of the better performing LICs have long-term investment horizons, which provide stability and steady returns. Management expense ratios for the larger established LICs (typically less than 0.3%) are generally much lower than those of unlisted funds. Usually this is a result of fewer transactions with long-term buy and hold strategies. LICs are also internally managed which results in lower costs. Generally, funds which focus on smaller or emerging companies tend to incur higher costs as a result of the requirement for additional in-house research. Investors should be aware that being listed means that LICs cannot be redeemed for its underlying share face value and share prices may deviate significantly from its underlying NTA. The most important criterion in the evaluation of a LIC is its track record. Those with the best long-term performances (measured by total return, dividend and NTA growth) are the ones likely to give the best future returns. However, given the lack of track record of the newer LICs, a closer focus on the stock selection process, risk management, NTA backing and the investment manager’s skill are most important in making a valuation call. LICs may provide attractive income investments but clients need to be mindful that a number of LICs (eg DJW) rely on covered call strategies in order to boost dividend yields. Unlike managed funds, LICs provide a post-tax calculation which includes realised capital gains taxed at the corporate rate. As a result, LICs are disadvantaged as franking benefits are usually not incorporated in the performance calculations. In our report, we will be using pre-tax NTA figures to provide reporting consistency with unlisted managed funds. GLOBAL AND THEME LICS LICs that rely on a theme are unlikely to out-perform the market over the long term, but can provide strong returns over a short to medium term time frame. Gearing (e.g. Aberdeen Leaders has fund leverage of ~36%) is potentially a positive when markets are moving higher but can be a negative when bear markets take hold. Templeton Global (TGG), Platinum Capital (PMC), Magellan Flagship Fund (MFF) and Hunter Hall Global (HHV) have a global spread of investments and may be appropriate for investors wishing to diversify beyond Australia. Of these, Platinum has the ability to apply derivatives to protect against loss. For Asian market exposure, AMP Capital China Fund (AGF) provides exposure to China A shares. Djerriwarrh (DJW) specialises in purchasing local option stocks and writing call options against them while Contango (CTN) mainly target domestic microcaps. 2 All information and advice is confidential and for the private information of the persons to whom it is provided and is provided without any responsibility or liability on any account whatsoever on the part of this firm or any member or employee thereof. 17 June 2016 Listed Investment Companies INVESTMENT FOCUS: Code Company Manager Focus Benchmark AFI Australian Foundat.

Although dividends are an important feature of investing, clients should note that there is no guarantee these dividends will continue into the future. During the year, the LICs that reported a drop in dividends included CTN, HHV, PMC, and IBC. Note that the chart below we have not included the AMP China Fund and IPE given that the distributions for these LICs are proceeds from a cash repatriation and is seen as temporary.

The LICs which are trading below historical levels are PGF, ALR, WAA, MFF, and WDE. Sentiment towards Aberdeen Leaders (ALR) has been weak because it is a geared fund and has exposure to large resource companies like BHP and RIO. The LICs that are trading at large premiums to their historical average NTA are now WAM, WAX, CDM and ALF. The strongest share price performers over the last quarter were BTI, HHV, WIC, GVF and NCC.

Rising concerns on the global credit market and slowing growth in emerging markets has led to most overseas focussed LICs to trade at discounts to NTA eg. MFF, AGF, TGG, and HHV. Currently AMP China (AGF) is currently trading at a 21% discount to NAV, but this is on par with its historical discount of 23%. Among the domestic LICs, FSI, WHF, and AMH are attractively priced. We prefer AMH over WHF because it is more actively managed and is not overly exposed to the banking sector. The LICs that are currently most expensive are DJW, CDM, MIR, WAM and ALF.

However, high market volatility often provides opportunities to invest when there is a disparity between total return and NTA growth.

ETFs can be classed as conventional, which are backed by physical assets, or synthetic, which rely on financial instruments like derivatives. Most ETFs in Australia are conventional ETFs that track common indices. The passive funds shown in the table below provide returns that replicate the performances of the underlying indexes, completely eliminating manager performance risk in the process. Yields are based on the aggregate yields of the component stocks. Management fees tend to be low, in the range 0.07 to 0.5%.
