ASX:PDL 10/07/2018

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

CORRECTWeekend Q&A: The ASX200 is feeling “soft” as we approach August & September

The ASX200 slipped 1% last week, eroding 40% of July's gains as the RBA took the shine off the local market even as global indices pushed to fresh highs, i.e. the US S&P 500 advanced +1.5% last week. The S&P 500 notched its 5th straight record weekly closing high, courtesy of more than 80% of the 169 S&P 500 companies that have reported to date have beaten Wall Street’s expectations. In Australia, it's been a more mixed and polarised affair on the reporting front, but with the “Big Four Banks” retreating on average close to 4% the ASX was always going to struggle to match its overseas peers.
