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.

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

We think some consolidation is overdue for local stocks - a healthy reset as we move through October remains our expectation for now.

And in the last 24-hours, with the infamous October less than one week old, we’ve started to see big moves across stock and commodity markets.
