Shareholder Meeting March/April 2025
The case for our LICs over Index ETF’s

LICs not wedded to tracking an index that may lead to:

•forced buying in overheated markets – last buyer of upgrades

•forced selling value in falling markets – last seller of downgrades

•large exposure to an individual company/sector

Closed end fund provides stability of capital which allows for long term investment

Greater stability of fully franked dividends, simple distributions, benefit of LIC capital gains. No unexpected

tax outcome for investors

Investments strategies are not influenced by the issuance and redemption of units as they are in open ended

structures – better able to take advantage of market opportunities

As an active investment manager, we have the discretion to take advantage of discounted placements, buy

backs and other corporate actions on behalf of shareholders
