Large cap LICs outperform small caps in FY17
Independent Investment Research
In its latest LMI Monthly Update, Independent Investment Research looks at the performance of the LIC sector over the 12 months to 30 June 2017. The Australian large cap share focused LICs benefited from solid market performance over that time with the five largest LICs delivering an average portfolio return (pre-tax NTA plus dividends) of 11.5%. While this is below the S&P/ASX 200 Accumulation Index return of 14.1%, it largely reflects underweight positions in resources. While the small cap sector of the market underperformed large caps, one listed investment trust, Forager Australian Shares Fund, delivered a massive 25.2% portfolio return for the 12 months.
