The Company 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 $41.4
million through a prospectus raising completed in February 2009.
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 February 2009, the Company assembled a portfolio of wholesale
bonds from 14 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 14 issuers
totaled $36.2 million. At the time of purchase, the bonds had yields
to maturity of between 8.50% and 17.7%.
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.
