Posted at 24/11/2023 16:51 by davebowler Fund managers’ reportMarket and portfolio review Asian markets remained weak in October, in common with global equities, as investors turned more risk averse due to a spike in bond yields, concerns about higher-for-longer interest rates and the most recent conflict in the Middle East. Sentiment on China remained cautious despite better GDP and export data, fresh policy measures including 1 trillion yuan (£112 billion) in planned government bond issuance and improving US-China dialogue with a Biden-Xi meeting now seen as possible in November. Elsewhere, the Indonesian market was among the weakest in the region as trade data fell by more than expected year-on-year, and the central bank unexpectedly raised rates by 25 basis points. Downbeat updates from Tesla, GM and Ford weighed on the Korean market because of concerns over slowing demand for electric vehicles that will also affect the supply chain. The Indian market fell by less than the wider region, and Taiwan also proved resilient as exports to all its markets rose in September, reinforcing a recovery in technology exports. In corporate news, many of our holdings reported earnings in October that were in line with our expectations despite the challenging global macroeconomic backdrop. It was good to see resilient performances across a range of different sectors. In the technology sector, both Samsung Electronics and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) reported better-than-expected third-quarter results. At TSMC, the company saw some stabilisation in demand which provided some confidence that the semiconductor cycle was near the bottom and 2024 should see more healthy growth generally. Samsung’s results also gave a clear signal that earnings were steadily improving. In Taiwan, the Fair Trade Commission (FTC) approved the merger of Taiwan Mobile and Taiwan Star Telecom Corp (TStar). The FTC imposed three conditions on the new merged entity, including the protection of customer rights, the improvement of service and network quality, and the promotion of fair market competition. The deal will now go to the Taiwan Stock Exchange for approval and the merger is due to be completed by the end of the year. Third-quarter figures from Singapore’s United Overseas Bank showed growth in net interest income and a good recovery in fees. Low to mid-single digit profit growth might still be achievable in 2024 and the dividend yield should hold above 6%. In the same sector, TISCO Financial Group (TISCO) beat expectations with a 5.8% rise in third-quarter net profits and said it will maintain its dividend in 2024, even if net profits fall, by increasing the dividend payout ratio. The half-yearly dividend payment was also expected to continue. Mining giant BHP reported a stronger-than-expect third quarter despite the usual scheduled maintenance in the first quarter across most assets. Copper production, iron ore shipments and nickel production were all better than expected, but coal production was much weaker. There were no major portfolio changes in October. As part of our ongoing ESG engagement, we engaged with Rio Tinto to discuss proposed changes to its remuneration policy, which are due to be tabled at the 2024 Annual General Meeting. We had questions about several aspects of the proposals, especially those related to performance measures and vesting thresholds for the long-term incentive plan, as well as the share deferral requirements for the annual bonus. We will continue our engagement in order to seek further clarification on those matters and to reiterate our views. Outlook We still see significant potential for China’s economy and market to spring back, given that much of the bad news has been priced in, while a fundamental recovery is gathering pace. The rollout of more supportive policies in a coordinated manner sends a strong signal to the market that the government is intensifying its effort to prop up the economy. The government's decision to raise the budget deficit to around 3.8% of GDP and approve a 1 trillion yuan sovereign bond issue bodes well for the economy and stock market in the months ahead. Outside of China, the rest of Asia is benefiting from global supply chain diversification. India is in the early stages of a cyclical upswing. As AI-related apps and chips start to proliferate, rising demand will boost the region’s semiconductor and consumer electronics segments. Asian valuations remain attractive versus markets like the US, along with expectations of better earnings performance in the fourth quarter and early 2024. There is also dividend support. Dividends of companies in the regional MXAPJ benchmark have been growing steadily, with Asia having the best dividend growth across major markets compared with pre-Covid levels. In addition, Asia’s 2024 dividend growth is likely to be healthy. Consensus estimates suggest that MXAPJ dividend growth is set to accelerate from a forecast 0.3% for 2023 to an expected 6.7% for 2024, led by consumer services, insurance, and staples retail. At the portfolio level, a “higher for longer” rate environment could pressure growth stocks and we have a relatively lighter positioning here. We remain focused on ensuring our conviction is appropriately reflected in our positioning. We are finding the most attractive opportunities around these structural themes: Aspiration, Building Asia, Digital Future, Going Green, Health & Wellness and Tech Enablers. We continue to favour fundamental themes, which we believe will deliver good dividends for shareholders over the long run. |
Posted at 27/2/2023 12:22 by davebowler 31 Jan Monthly Report -Fund managers’ report Market and portfolio review The recovery in Asian markets, which began in November after China made its surprise reopening announcements, continued to gather pace into the new year, with the Chinese stock market rising 9% in UK sterling terms in January. Expectations that China’s reopening would boost demand for everything from consumer electronics to travel and commodities pulled a number of other Asian markets up with it, most notably the export-oriented markets of Taiwan and South Korea and the commodity-heavy market of Australia. These markets saw double-digit gains over the month, and underpinned the benchmark MSCI AC Asia Pacific Ex Japan Index’s 6% rise in sterling terms. The Indian market was among the weaker ones in the region in January, partly due to investors switching to China to take advantage of the reopening of its economy. Australian equities made a strong start to 2023 as investor sentiment improved on encouraging inflation data and better-than-expected GDP growth in the US. In corporate news, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) published good fourth-quarter results during the month which showed betterthan-expected profit margins due mainly to favourable foreign exchange rates as well as cost reductions. TSMC guided for first-half revenues in 2023 to fall, followed by some recovery in the second half. Profit margins should be maintained, and the long-term growth target remains unchanged. Third quarter results from Indian IT group Infosys showed sales growth which was more resilient than expected. The company’s order book continued to grow and management raised its forecast for revenue growth in 2023. A US$1.1 billion share buyback, begun in December, was more than half way to completion. In the mining sector, BHP published an operational review covering the second half of 2022 in which it revealed that its dividend in the first half of 2023 would C Expressed as a percentage of average daily net assets for the year ended 31 December 2021. The Ongoing Charges Figure (OCF) is the overall cost shown as a percentage of the value of the assets of the Company. It is made up of the Annual Management Fee and other charges. It does not include any costs associated with buying shares in the Company or the cost of buying and selling stocks within the Company. The OCF can help you compare the annual operating expenses of different Companies. D With effect from 1 January 2020 the management fee was moved to a tiered basis: 0.85% of the average value of net assets up to £350 million and 0.65% of the average value of net assets in excess of £350 million. E Calculated using the Company’s historic net dividends and month end share price. F Net gearing is defined as a percentage, with net debt (total debt less cash/cash equivalents) divided by shareholders’ funds. G The ‘Active Share’ percentage is a measure used to describe what proportion of the Company’s holdings differ from the benchmark index holdings. be lowered to 86 cents. This was due to an increase in working capital, and cash needed to fund the takeover of OZ Minerals. It also said that the cost of mining coal and iron ore had increased, albeit offset partly by higher market prices for iron ore. Third quarter results from Rio Tinto were good with volumes up 20% year-on-year, although the absence of further price increases disappointed the market. Investors remain concerned about increasing supply-side capacity. In the real estate sector, CapitaLand India Trust (CLINT) agreed to buy an IT park in Bangalore through a forward purchase arrangement. It will provide funding towards the development of the project, which includes two buildings with a net leasable area of 1.5 million square feet. To give an idea of the potential boost to dividends the company said that if it had completed the acquisition on 1 January 2021 and held the interest in building through to 31 December 2021, that would have yielded expected dividends of 7.84 cents after the acquisition. In key portfolio activity, we introduced two new stocks. Telstra is the leading telecommunications carrier in Australia, providing a full suite of voice, mobile, data and internet products as well as pay-TV services. The company also has an attractive dividend yield. Autohome is the main online destination for automobile consumers in China. It delivers comprehensive, independent and interactive content to automobile buyers and owners. The core business benefits from the powerful network effect of a classifieds business. Outlook China remains pivotal to Asia’s economic recovery, and, with China’s fasterthan-expected reopening, we think this bodes well for the region’s prospects in 2023. China seems to be achieving herd immunity fast, and we are seeing economic activity gain traction. The recovery is being led by greater demand for services, but we also hope to see a recovery in durable goods consumption, which will support China’s economy. The central government remains focused on supporting economic growth. The property market remains weak, but policy support is growing, and, without ‘zero-Covid to see sales recover gradually this year. Meanwhile, China’s reopening could boost tourism revenues in ASEAN particularly, given the significant contribution of Chinese tourists’ dollars to these economies. Many economies, particularly those in South-East Asia, are still bouncing back after their post-Covid-19 reopening, which should support earnings growth. In Singapore, we see resilient conditions and a sustained re-opening underpinning domestic demand and corporate earnings, albeit accompanied by rising price pressures and interest rates. Meanwhile, valuations remain attractive. Against this backdrop, we have positioned the portfolio to weather near-term risks, while keeping in mind longterm secular trends across Asia. Our focus remains on quality companies with sustainable business models, strong cash flows and access to structural growth drivers across Asia, as these support growth in both capital and shareholder return. We continue to favour fundamental themes like consumption, technology and green energy, which we believe will deliver good dividends for shareholders over the long run. |

Posted at 04/5/2022 09:32 by petewy yes Dave quoteThe focus on dividends, quality (in terms of balance sheet strength) and valuation lends this strategy an element of balance, which should level out some of the more pronounced peaks and troughs that can affect more polarised income strategies.

Posted at 13/1/2022 10:48 by gateside Declaration of Fourth Interim DividendThe Directors of the Company have today declared an increased fourth interim dividend in respect of the year ended 31 December 2021 of 2.75p per Ordinary share of No Par Value (fourth interim for 2020: 2.55p). The fourth interim dividend will be payable on 17 February 2022 to Ordinary shareholders on the register on 21 January 2022, ex-dividend date 20 January 2022. The total dividend for 2021 amounts to 9.5p (2020: 9.30p) and the Board is pleased to note that this represents the thirteenth consecutive year of annual dividend increases. In the absence of unforeseen circumstances, it is the Board's intention to declare three interim dividends of 2.25p per Ordinary share in respect of the year to 31 December 2022. A decision on the level of the fourth interim dividend will, as this year, be made post the period end, in January 2023. |

Posted at 19/2/2021 13:04 by goldpiguk Hi davebowler,Today I reached my target ISA holding of 10,000 shares in AAIF, with the purchase of 1,050 shares. The shares are currently trading at 224-228, a little below the 233 shown on the advfn graph at time of purchase. In recent years AAIF has put in a rather lacklustre performance compared to its peers. Having said that my total AAIF holding is up about 20% on my average purchase price. All my AAIF shares were purchased over the last year. As your posts show, the income including and excluding NAV are currently the same,(this is the case when income does not fully cover payout when xd) but there is good reason to think that over the next year or two dividend income growth should trend higher. The two largest (heavily weighted) holdings in the AAIF portfolio have excellent dividend growth prospects. I would expect the significant discount to NAV to reduce over time, especially since Asia should benefit from portfolio rebalancing as we come out of the global pandemic. This geographic area also looks undervalued compared to other geographic regions. In the Asian sector I also hold HFEL. I still remain cautious on dividend sustainabilty/growth at HFEL, which trades at or near NAV with an already very high dividend payout. I am now starting to finalise which IT I will start to build a new position in. I hold EDIN, DIG, MRCH, AAIF and HFEL in my ISA portfolio. Goldpig |
Posted at 16/11/2020 02:42 by goldpiguk Hi EssentialInvestor,I have been quietly adding to these over the last few months. I am becoming increasingly convinced that Asia will emerge from the coronavirus pandemic, in rather better shape than many western economies. Asia still offers enormous growth prospects over the next decade, but of course is not without risk. My intention is to build holdings in several Asian orientated IT's. I currently hold HFEL and AAIF. I decided not to add to HFEL: the dividend seems almost too good to be true! AAIF has a couple of very large holdings in the portfolio, which could hold performance back if Taiwan Semiconductor, for instance, does not live up to expectations. However if the projections I have seen for Taiwan Semiconductor turn out to be accurate those shares have a long way to go; so there is the potential for AAIF to outperform its peers. Although I feel a little uncertain about AAIF maintaining its current dividend payments in 2021, I have my eye more on 2030 and the potential overall return. AAIF should do well, taking a ten year view. Goldpig |
