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
