Latest News & Updates For Perennial Value Shares Wholesale Trust

Perennial Value Shares Wholesale Trust Fund Commentary September 30, 2023

Markets were weaker again in September, with stronger than expected economic data pushing bond yields higher. By contrast, the economic news from China continued to be weak. This saw the S&P500 fall -4.9%, the NASDAQ decline -5.8%, and the Nikkei 225 give back -2.3%. The FTSE100 bucked the trend, rising +2.3% as inflation data in the UK came in lower than expected. After a sharp fall last month, the Shanghai composite was relatively stable, down only – 0.3%, as a number of additional stimulus measures were put in place over the month.

The Australian market was also weak, with the ASX300 Accumulation Index finishing the month down -2.9%. The domestic economic data remains strong, and inflation continues to ease, allowing the RBA to remain on hold at its September meeting. However, we would caution that this data is backward looking, and given the long lags in the transmission of monetary policy, the impact of previous rate increases is still yet to be fully felt on the real economy.

Energy (+2.2%) was the only sector to deliver a positive return in September, as production cuts by OPEC+ combined with strong demand to see the oil price rise to over US$87/bl. Metals and Mining (-1.4%) outperformed as the iron ore price remained resilient, despite the China weakness. Financials (-1.6%) also outperformed in a relative sense, with signs of an easing in mortgage competition supporting the banks. Interest rate sensitive sectors underperformed as bond yields rose, with REITs (8.7%), IT (-7.7%) and Healthcare (-6.4%), the worst performing sectors.

Historical Performance Commentary

Performance Commentary - August 31, 2023

Markets were generally softer in August, with good economic news in the US being interpreted as bad for equities as it suggested rates will remain higher for longer. At the same time, bad economic news in China was interpreted as also being bad for equities, as what has been the main engine of global growth continued to splutter. This saw the S&P500 fall -1.8% and the NASDAQ decline -2.2%, while the FTSE100 fell -3.4% and the Nikkei 225 gave back -1.7%. The continuing weak Chinese data, and renewed concerns over the property market, saw the Shanghai composite fall -5.2%.

After selling off in the early part of the month, the Australian market staged a late recovery, with the ASX300 Accumulation Index finishing the month down only -0.8%. Reporting season was the highlight of the month. Many of the more cyclical stocks delivered better than feared results, while many of the defensives disappointed. Overall, results were sound, and highlighted that the economy continues to perform strongly. The RBA remained on hold at its August meeting, and inflation continued to ease. Retail sales bounced, house prices continued to rise, and employment remained strong.

The better than feared results from consumer-facing stocks saw Consumer Discretionary (+5.8%) the best performing sector for the month, followed by REITs (+2.2%), which also experienced a relief rally. Energy (+0.7%) also outperformed. By contrast, Metals and Mining (-2.5%) underperformed, weighed down by the negative China sentiment and generally softer commodity prices. Consumer Staples (-3.1%) were also softer as investors rotated towards more discretionary exposures.

Performance Commentary - July 31, 2023

After selling off in the earlier part of the month, markets staged a strong recovery to finish up strongly. While most central banks raised rates in July, improving inflation data supported the view that we are close to the end of the tightening cycle. At the same time, ongoing healthy economic data gave rise to optimism that a soft landing may be achievable. This saw the S&P500 gain +3.1%, the NASDAQ rally +4.0% and the FTSE100 rise +2.2%. Despite Chinese economic data continuing to be weak, the Shanghai composite added +2.8% on hopes of further stimulus measures. By contrast, the Nikkei 225 eased -0.1%, following its very strong recent performance.

The Australian market was also strong, with the ASX300 Accumulation Index finishing the month up +2.9%. The market reacted positively as the RBA paused its rate increases, leaving the cash rate unchanged at 4.1% in July. As in other markets, there are clear signs that inflation has peaked, while economic data remains robust, with key measures such as employment, spending and house prices remaining resilient. However, we would caution that this data is backward looking and given the long lags in the transmission of monetary policy, the impact of previous rate increases is still yet to fully felt on the real economy.

Energy (+8.4%) was the best performing sector, with the oil price rallying on OPEC+ production cuts and the improving global outlook. Easing inflation and interest rate expectations also saw Financials (+4.9%), IT (+4.8%), Utilities (+4.0%) and REITs (+3.9%) outperform.

Performance Commentary - June 30, 2023

Markets were strong in June, with improving inflation trends and a pause by the Fed, seeing a broadening of the rally in US equities from the Tech sector to other parts of the market. The NASDAQ added +6.6%, while the S&P500 rallied +6.5% on stronger economic data and the hope that the rate rise cycle is over, despite Jerome Powell saying that more rate rises are expected. The Nikkei 225 rose +7.5%, while the FTSE 100 was up a more modest +1.1%. The exception was the Shanghai Composite, which eased -0.1%, on concerns over the faltering Chinese post-COVID recovery.

The Australian market was also strong, with the ASX300 Accumulation Index finishing the month up +1.7%. Despite the RBA lifting the cash rate again, investors took a positive stance as inflation eased and economic data remained robust, with retail sales rebounding, house prices rising and very strong jobs growth in May. However, we would caution that this data is backward looking, and the impact of previous rate increases is still yet to be fully felt. While the economy is proving very resilient, some cracks are starting to appear, with several retailers issuing profit downgrades and building approvals falling sharply.

Metals and Mining (+5.0%) was the best performing sector, with commodity prices generally higher over the month, despite the Chinese growth concerns. Financials (+3.1%) also outperformed, as the major banks found some support. Defensive sectors were weaker as sentiment turned more positive on the economic outlook.

Healthcare (-6.4%) was the man detractor, led lower by CSL, while Telcos and REITs also underperformed.

Performance Commentary - May 31, 2023

During the month we took profits and trimmed our holdings in Tabcorp, United Malt and Newcrest. Proceeds were used to increase our holdings in the Resources and Energy sectors following their being sold off. At month end, stock numbers were 53 and cash was 4.2%.

The Trust delivered -2.7%, after-fees in May, underperforming the benchmark by -0.2%. Key positive contributors to performance included Telix Pharmaceuticals (+15.3%), which added to its very strong performance in April.

James Hardie (+13.1%) was also stronger, with indications that the US housing market has stabilised after being impacted by the rapid rise in mortgage rates. James Hardie is primarily exposed to the renovation, as opposed to new construction market, however, it has still been impacted by the current slowdown. While the company is subject to the cycle, over time it has consistently outgrown the overall market as its premium, differentiated products take share from other building materials. Management continue to focus on investing in the brand and distribution channels and we expect this to continue to drive double-digit earnings growth over the medium term.

Healthcare stocks were stronger during the month, with Integral Diagnostics and Healius (both +5.7%) outperforming as industry data showed that patient volumes were recovering from COVID disruptions. CSL (+1.9%) also outperformed, with plasma collections having rebounded to above pre-COVID levels.

Performance Commentary - April 30, 2023

Further indications that inflation has peaked, combined with the banking sector issues apparently abating, saw markets trade positively in April. Key global indices rose, with the S&P500 +1.5%, the FTSE100 +3.1%, the Nikkei 225 +2.9%, the Shanghai Composite +1.5% and the NASDAQ +0.4%.

The decision by the RBA to pause its rate rises at the April meeting lifted sentiment and boosted the Australian market, which returned +1.8% for the month. The prospect of interest rates having peaked saw a relief rally in those sectors most leveraged to bond yields, with REITs (+5.2%) and IT (+4.5%) the best performing sectors over the month. The rally was broad-based, with Australian economic data remaining strong.

The unemployment rate continues to be at record lows and consumer spending remains robust. Further, the housing market appears to have stabilised, with prices showing modest gains in March and April. This was very positive for sentiment, with housing being a key underpinning of the economy. Metals & Mining (-3.2%) was the only sector to deliver a negative return in April, as commodity prices weakened on concerns over slowing Chinese growth.

Performance Commentary - February 28, 2023

The Trust returned -2.0%, after-fees in February, outperforming the benchmark by +0.5%. The market continues to oscillate between optimism that inflation has peaked, meaning that the interest rate increases are close to an end, and pessimism that inflation will prove persistent and that rate rises have a way to go yet. On this front, n y’s optimism gave way to pessimism, as strong economic data suggested that Central Banks have more work to do. The reporting season was the highlight of the month in the domestic market. For the past several reporting periods, results have come in slightly ahead of market expectations, with the stronger than expected economic backdrop providing good support to corporate earnings.

This period, however, while results were solid, overall they came in slightly below market expectations, with the first signs of slowing starting to appear. While revenue growth was stronger than expectations, margins are beginning to be pressured by rising input costs and guidance indicated that consumer spending has eased in the early part of this year. Key positive contributors to performance included packaging company, Orora (+18.5%), which delivered a solid result and reiterated full-year guidance. The market had been concerned that its US business would be experiencing some weakness, however, this has proven not to be the case.

Their Australian operations also continue to perform well and have baked-in growth from capacity expansions in their can business, which are due to come online shortly. This expanded capacity has been pre-sold to existing customers under long-term contracts, locking in the necessary return on investment. Orora is a major supplier of wine bottles and there is further upside to this business should the thaw in relations see Chinese wine tariffs removed, as this would significantly increase export volumes and demand for bottles. Orora has many attractive attributes in the current market, with relatively defensive earnings and low risk organic growth, combined with strong management and an attractive valuation.

  • SMSF Mate is a unique website because it has ideas about how to approach SMSFs, insurance and other financial topics that come straight from first hand experience. It's much more useful than what you find on all the other financial websites that just offer generic info that you could easily get on the ATO's website. It's also nice to know there's no financial incentive behind the information, it's legitimately there to help people understand self-managed super funds and how to get the most out of them, not to get an affiliate commission from a broker or other financial services provider. The investment product information is also incredibly useful, I've never seen this kind of functionality on any other website that let's you look at such a wide range of products, sort by what info is most interesting or important to you, and subscribe to updates for different funds and financial products all in one place. Definitely worth checking out if you own or are considering an SMSF!

    David G, Self-Employed, SMSF Owner
  • SMSF Mate provides a unique insight into superannuation and financial topics in a way that is easier to understand than conventional websites. The colloquial nature of the site makes it easy to understand and they often speak about complicated topics in lamens terms so I can wrap my head around them. The investment product information is a great way to research funds that I am interested in investing in with my SMSF and there is a lot of helpful information on the site for better structuring my investment portfolio. In comparison to other websites which offer similar information, SMSF Mate excels as the information is free to access whereas many other sites charge a subscription fee for the same thing. Overall, I think SMSF Mate is a great resource for SMSF trustees and is worth looking at for a variety of super-related topics. Thanks.
