The Australian Masters Corporate Bond Fund No 2 (‘AMCBF#2’)
was established to provide Australian retail investors access to
the Australian wholesale senior bond market through a simple, cost
effective corporate structure. The Company raised $35.5 million
through a prospectus raising completed in September 2008.
This Company provides access for Australian domiciled retail investors
to an underlying portfolio of high ranking senior Australian corporate
debt. The Company also holds in its portfolio senior corporate debt
issued in Australia by well known multinational companies and Australian
subsidiaries of multinational companies. These bonds, known as kangaroo
bonds, are denominated in Australian dollars.
The Company is managed by Dixon Advisory & Superannuation Services
Limited.
The Company employs a static, or ‘buy and hold’ portfolio
management style, selecting a portfolio of high quality senior bonds
denominated in Australian dollars and issued by Australian companies
and generally holding these bonds until maturity.’
Since September 2008, the Company assembled a portfolio of wholesale
bonds from 9 different issuers with staggered maturities ranging
from less than one year to just under five years from the date of
listing. The aggregate purchase price of the bonds from the 9 issuers
currently held within the portfolio totals $32.9 million. At the
time of purchase, the bonds had yields to maturity of between 7.5%
to 9.31%.
The Company expects to continue to pay two fully franked dividends
per year. The Company will seek Shareholder approval to execute
capital returns from time to time, passing capital proceeds derived
from the maturity of bonds back to investors.
