LISTED INVESTMENT COMPANIES

MARKET VOLATILITY IMPROVES RELATIVE DEMAND FOR LICS

Listed investment companies are essentially listed equivalents of managed funds but have higher levels of transparency, tend to charge lower fees than its unlisted counterparts and are closed end funds. This means investors buy and sell the LIC vehicle so the LIC managers are not under pressure to meet redemptions. A key risk is that LICs cannot be redeemed for its underlying face value and share prices may deviate significantly from its underlying NTA.

This report compares 36 different LICs and identifies those that are most attractive on a number of quantitative measures including price to NTA, dividend yield, NTA growth, and total returns. The key criterion in the evaluation of a LIC is its track record. Those with the best long-term performances (measured by total return, dividends and NTA growth) are the ones that are likely to give the best future returns. In the Appendix, we provide a list of top 20 holdings and a historical price to NTA chart for each LIC.

Key Ideas:

Most Attractive – higher relative demand for LICs amid the volatile market environment has led to limited value opportunities among the Domestic LICs. Over the quarter, the LICs which focus on absolute returns such as Australian Leaders (ALF) and WAM Active (WAA) achieved resilient NTA growth (due to their large cash weighting and short positions). Ironbark (IBC), which is exposed to yield stocks and interest rate securities also performed well and looks attractively priced. Meanwhile, the share price of Whitefield (WHF) has been impacted by the underperformance of the Australian banks. Despite trading at premium to NTA, we are positive on Cadence Capital (CDM) and WAM Research (WAX). Among the micro-cap LICs, we recommend Flagship Investments (FSI) and CBG Capital (CBC).

Across the Global LICs, we recommend Magellan Flagship (MFF) and Templeton Global (TGG). Hunter Hall Global (HHV) is trading at a 21% discount to NTA and is ideal for those who want exposure to mid/small cap global companies. We are also positive on the PM Capital Global Opportunities Fund (PGF) which has achieved NTA growth of 24% over the year. Also, investors may be interested in the recently listed Platinum Asian Fund (PAI). Its Retail Asian Fund has returned 9.1% p.a over the five years to August 2015 (vs benchmark of 7.7% p.a).

Expensive – The LICs that appear most expensive are Djerriwarrh (DJW) and Platinum Capital (PMC). Over the quarter, AMP Capital China (AGF), Contango Microcap (CTN) and Ironbark Capital (IBC) underperformed the sector.

Dividend Yield – Investors should not buy LICs on yield alone as some of the top paying dividend LICs have delivered subpar NTA growth. For sustainable yields, we recommend WAM (fully franked net yield of 7.0%), CDM (6.8%), WAX (6.4%) and IBC (6.3%).

Strongest NTA Growth – Despite the Chinese volatility markets in recent months, AGF remains the best NTA performer for the year. Others with strong NTA growth include MFF and PGF. Among the domestic LICs, WAX, CIN and WAM have done well. However, over five years, MFF, CDM, and CIN rank best.

Premiums to historical NTA – The LICs which are currently trading significantly below their historical NTA levels include IPE, WAA, and MFF. Those that are trading at large premiums are PMC, DJW, and KAT.

Note: we have initiated coverage on Glennon Small Companies (GC1) and K2 Global Equities (KII).

WHY BUY LISTED INVESTMENT COMPANIES?

For conservative investors wishing to match or possibly beat the long-term returns of the All Ordinaries Index, especially those with a limited amount of capital, a number of LICs can provide the necessary spread of investments. Although many investors focus on whether a LIC is trading at a discount or premium to net tangible asset backing (NTA), in reality, the better performing LICs trade at a premium and the poor performers often trade at deep discounts.

The removal of trailing commissions from unlisted mutual funds will provide a renewed focus on the listed investment funds sector. As closed end funds, the LIC managers do not have to sell stock at the bottom of bear markets to meet redemptions when prices are low and, conversely, they do not need to buy stock when prices are high. This allows a LIC to concentrate on investment selection without having to factor in the consequences of money leaving the fund unexpectedly (as in the case of a managed fund). In addition, LICs have the potential to pass on franking credits to shareholders.

Most of the better performing LICs have long-term investment horizons, which provide stability and steady returns. Management expense ratios for the larger established LICs (typically less than 0.3%) are generally much lower than those of unlisted funds. Usually this is a result of fewer transactions with long-term buy and hold strategies. LICs are also internally managed which results in lower costs. Generally, funds which focus on smaller or emerging companies tend to incur higher costs as a result of the requirement for additional in-house research. Investors should be aware that being listed means that LICs cannot be redeemed for its underlying share face value and share prices may deviate significantly from its underlying NTA.

The most important criterion in the evaluation of a LIC is its track record. Those with the best long-term performances (measured by total return, dividend and NTA growth) are the ones likely to give the best future returns. However, given the lack of track record of the newer LICs, a closer focus on the stock selection process, risk management, NTA backing and the investment manager’s skill are most important in making a valuation call. LICs may provide attractive income investments but clients need to be mindful that a number of LICs (eg DJW) rely on covered call strategies in order to boost dividend yields.

Unlike managed funds, LICs provide a post-tax calculation which includes realised capital gains taxed at the corporate rate. As a result, LICs are disadvantaged as franking benefits are usually not incorporated in the performance calculations. In our report, we will be using pre-tax NTA figures to provide reporting consistency with unlisted managed funds.

GLOBAL AND THEME LICS

LICs that rely on a theme are unlikely to out-perform the market over the long term, but can provide strong returns over a short to medium term time frame. Gearing (e.g. Aberdeen Leaders has fund leverage of ~36%) is potentially a positive when markets are moving higher but can be a negative when bear markets take hold.

Templeton Global (TGG), Platinum Capital (PMC), Magellan Flagship Fund (MFF) and Hunter Hall Global (HHV) have a global spread of investments and may be appropriate for investors wishing to diversify beyond Australia. Of these, Platinum has the ability to apply derivatives to protect against loss. For Asian market exposure, AMP Capital China Fund (AGF) provides exposure to China A shares. Djerriwarrh (DJW) specialises in purchasing local option stocks and writing call options against them while Contango (CTN) mainly target domestic microcaps.

TOTAL RETURN AND NTA GROWTH

The following charts compare the one and five year total return with the underlying NTA growth for the LICs in our universe. Over the year to August 2015, half the LICs on our coverage list was able to outperform the All Ordinaries Accumulation Index (shaded in green below). The LICs in which share prices have not moved inline with the underlying growth in NTA and represent opportunities include ALF, WAA, IPE, FSI, and CBC. Those with the strongest NTA growth over the year were AGF, MFF, and PGF.

NB: The NTA growth and total return for CBC is calculated from listing date in December 2014.

Over five years ending August 2015, the LICs that have experienced the strongest NTA growth were MFF, CDM, CIN and WAX. During the year, MFF undertook a 1:4 rights issue at a share price of $1.60. CIN has a significant exposure to Amalgamated holdings (AHD). Meanwhile, the bonus issue implemented by CDM has expired in August and this should now remove the options overhang on the stock. Outside of these LICs, WHF, MIR and TGG also lie in the top quartile for NTA growth. The worst performing domestic funds over the long term include ALR, FSI and WIC.

PREMIUM TO NTA VS NTA GROWTH

In the chart below, the most attractive LICs are the ones positioned on the lower right corner as these are trading at a significant discount to NTA despite achieving above average sector growth in NTA over the last five years. Most of the attractive LICs focus on global equities – MFF, AGF, TGG, and HHV. Investors are cautious on the AMP Capital China Growth Fund (AGF) due to the weak Chinese economic data which has weighed on the share price. Among the domestic LICs, WHF, CIN and FSI are attractively priced. Note that WHF has high exposure to Australian banks while CIN has a large investment in Amalgamated Holdings. The LICs that are currently most expensive are DJW and PMC.

TOTAL RETURN VS NTA GROWTH

In theory, we would expect share price gains to reflect NTA growth over the long term. However, increasing market uncertainty often provides opportunities to invest when there is a disparity between total return and NTA growth. In the chart below, the LICs that lie furthest away from the line of best fit towards the lower right quadrant represent these opportunities ie. when NTA growth exceeds total return by a wide margin.

Domestic Exchange Traded Funds

Exchange Traded Funds are listed, managed, open-ended funds (new units are created when you invest in the fund) that invest in a portfolio of securities, which may include Australian shares, international shares, fixed income securities, listed property trusts, commodities, currencies or a combination of asset classes. ETFs can be classed as conventional, which are backed by physical assets, or synthetic, which rely on financial instruments like derivatives. Most ETFs in Australia are conventional ETFs that track common indices. The passive funds shown in the table below provide returns that replicate the performances of the underlying indexes, completely eliminating manager performance risk in the process. Yields are based on the aggregate yields of the component stocks. Management fees tend to be low, in the range 0.07 to 0.5%.
