Executive commentary on financial performance and outlook


Equity markets demonstrated resilience during the half year, despite intermittent market fluctuations due to economic uncertainty, geopolitical tensions, and inflation concerns. The company's profit after tax for the half year ended 31 December 2023 was $17.8 million, down from $21.0 million in the previous corresponding period. The decrease in revenues was primarily attributed to lower dividend payouts from BHP, Rio Tinto, and Woodside, as a result of softer commodity prices and increased costs. Looking ahead, the company acknowledges the cautious short-term outlook due to the share market's near all-time high, but remains confident in the soundness of equities as a long-term investment.
