How the Portfolio Performed The Small Cap Portfolio generated a 2.8% return in the second quarter driven mostly by Xero (+35%) and Nine Entertainment (+9.3%). Xero is a fantastic business, and its prospects as a cloud-based small business accounting platform are still massive. Subscriber growth remains strong and it’s progressing toward cash flow breakeven, further reducing downside risks. Fast-growing companies with huge addressable markets are notoriously difficult to value, but Xero appears to be doing all the right things to drive growth and its intrinsic value higher. Nine doesn’t have the same growth potential or competitive advantages as Xero, so market optimism is probably starting to run too far, making it a source of capital as alternative opportunities arise. Weighing on the portfolio’s return was Ainsworth (-44%) and Greencross (-15%). Ainsworth issued disappointing guidance, as a turnaround in its Australian business remains a mirage. Gaming equipment can be a choppy business cycle depending on demand as well as product innovation by Ainsworth and competitors. While the share price decline is discouraging, the outlook implied seems overly harsh. An earnings downgrade was also to blame for the lower share price for Greencross where demand has been weaker than expected and management has shifted their focus from store refurbishment (short-term revenue driver) to backend technology investments (long-term cost efficiencies and eventually revenue enhancement). The potential for Greencross to capitalise on increased spending on pets still looks attractive, as does the current share price. Outlook Key attributes for future performance of portfolio holdings are having no exposure to the materials sector, an elevated cash position, and of course the individual companies we’re invested in given the concentrated portfolio construction. We feel the portfolio has an attractive mix of stable earnings companies in defensive sectors complemented by stock-specific capital appreciation opportunities. This approach, at least thus far, has led to attractive returns with substantially less volatility than the benchmark in the long-run.

Market Commentary

The S&P/ASX Small Ords rose 7.7% in the second quarter, just behind the 8.5% of the S&P/ASX 200. The energy sector (+27%) was a key driver, as were consumer discretionary (+9%) and technology (+14%). Financials (-1%) was the lone negative sector due to poor performance in diversified financials (particularly Blue Sky Alternative -84%) and insurance (NIB Holdings -10%). Looking over the last three years, the materials sector continues to be the largest contributor to performance at nearly 5% of the 15% annualised return.

How the Portfolio Performed

The Small Cap Portfolio generated a 2.8% return in the second quarter driven mostly by Xero (+35%) and Nine Entertainment (+9.3%). Xero is a fantastic business, and its prospects as a cloud-based small business accounting platform are still massive. Subscriber growth remains strong and it’s progressing toward cash flow breakeven, further reducing downside risks. Fast-growing companies with huge addressable markets are notoriously difficult to value, but Xero appears to be doing all the right things to drive growth and its intrinsic value higher. Nine doesn’t have the same growth potential or competitive advantages as Xero, so market optimism is probably starting to run too far, making it a source of capital as alternative opportunities arise.

Weighing on the portfolio’s return was Ainsworth (-44%) and Greencross (-15%). Ainsworth issued disappointing guidance, as a turnaround in its Australian business remains a mirage. Gaming equipment can be a choppy business cycle depending on demand as well as product innovation by Ainsworth and competitors. While the share price decline is discouraging, the outlook implied seems overly harsh. An earnings downgrade was also to blame for the lower share price for Greencross where demand has been weaker than expected and management has shifted their focus from store refurbishment (short-term revenue driver) to backend technology investments (long-term cost efficiencies and eventually revenue enhancement). The potential for Greencross to capitalise on increased spending on pets still looks attractive, as does the current share price.

Outlook

Key attributes for future performance of portfolio holdings are having no exposure to the materials sector, an elevated cash position, and of course the individual companies we’re invested in given the concentrated portfolio construction. We feel the portfolio has an attractive mix of stable earnings companies in defensive sectors complemented by stock-specific capital appreciation opportunities. This approach, at least thus far, has led to attractive returns with substantially less volatility than the benchmark in the long-run.
