Pendal Group FUM update dissapoints

Stock

Pendal Group (PDL) $9.56 as at 10/07/2018

Event

The volatility continues for the group since changing its name from BT Financial, Pendal today disappointed the market with a poor FUM updated for the year ended 30 June. Total FUM grew 1% but this was all driven by investment performance which hid a 1.3% outflow of money. Outflows also targeted the higher revenue earning funds – OEIC’s & segregated mandates. Overall, the changes are expected to reduce fee income by $5.8m. as a result, sellers took to the stock today, and most worrisome was PDL closing on the day’s lows.

Pendal Group (PDL) Chart

Market Matters Take/Outlook

We are negative Pendal, targeting at least a fresh test of $9 support - outflows are rarely positive, while our negative outlook for equities points to weak times for managers. To view the full report on PDL click here

The Match Out: A flat start to FY26 for Aussie stocks

A lacklustre first trading session of FY26 with the index trying to push higher early but faltering before the closing bell. All those itching to sell CBA can now do so without paying tax for a while prompting some re-allocation amongst the banks - ANZ the standout today up +2.5% while CBA fell by 1.2%. It was fairly quiet elsewhere.

What Matters Today: Looking in the rearview mirror & through the windscreen into FY26

A slightly shorter report today as we take a deep breath after our busiest day of the year. As the saying goes, there are two certainties in life: “death and taxes”. At MM, we see it big time with investors taking out subscriptions ahead of the EOFY, a great win-win in our opinion.
