February 2014 Investment review

2 Market wrap Monthly performance overview  The S&P/ASX200 Accumulation Index ended up 5% higher for the month.  News flow for month was dominated by companies reporting first half results.  Company results characterised by soft top line growth offset by cost out initiatives.

Market review 3  What we learnt during reporting season −Focus on top line growth; −Housing is improving; −Cost cutting remains a focus; −Resource companies improving; −Still tough for mining services; and −Banks delivering.  Questions that remain −Economy recovering but will job losses impact; −Chinese growth rates; and −QE unravelling.

Reporting season lessons 4 Focus on top line revenue growth  Disproportionate response to a small basket of growth stocks.  Market’s valuation of these stocks now appears to be dangerous.  Remain disciplined on valuation and see the following opportunities: −Cyclical, unknown or recovery phase revenue growth on low multiples; −Greater focus on M&A and less dividend returns; and −Companies delivering strong bottom line growth through restructuring.

Reporting season lessons 5 Housing is improving  Housing responding to lower interest rates.  Apartment sales remain strong.  Increasing amount of affordable house and land packages.  Decade of undersupply, favourable approval process and RBA seeking to stimulate economy.

Reporting season lessons 6 Financial services displaying strong recovery  Companies exposed to improving equity market displaying strong results.  Driven by level inflows, equity performance and low interest rates.  Increase in M&A and IPO’s.

Reporting season lessons 7 Cost cutting remains a strong focus  Despite revenue focus, a number of companies have announced cost out programs.  Market responded positively, however tended not to re-rate these stocks.  We continue to see value in some of these companies.

Reporting season lessons 8 Resource companies improving  Market is focused on near term outlook of iron ore prices.  Major resource companies are improving fundamentals by taking out costs, increasing cash flow and reducing capex.  Patient shareholders will be rewarded in longer term.

Reporting season lessons 9 Mining services still tough  Cost cutting programs make it difficult for mining services players.  We saw downgrades even from leaders in this segment. Banks deliver  Strong results with bad debts lower than the market expected.  While now sign of deterioration some caution is warranted as bad debts are well below long term averages.

Questions that remain 10 Economic recovery  Better than expected recovery, positive retail figures, housing and positive equity markets.  Will job losses impact recovery? Chinese growth rate  Nervous market regarding shadow banking outlook, expectation defaults will accelerate.  Government support via a stimulus package will be a focus.  Will resource companies outperform while these doubts persist? QE unravelling  We have positioned the portfolio on the side of QE unravelling, expecting a decrease in A$ and bonds to ease.  In past two months A$ and bond yields have stabilised.  Can they hold their current levels in face of unravelling QE?

Current portfolio positioning 11  Companies which can control their profit and value accreting outcomes (NAB, ORG, TWE, AZJ).  Top line growth in housing, market exposure (LLC, HGG, MQG).  Offshore plays (BXB, QBE).  Resource stocks (BHP, RIO).  Cautious on high PE growth stocks following a strong re-rating last year.  Underweight the high yielding segment which can suffer as QE unravels.
