Out of curiosity I had a look at Kingfish financial statements for FY24. Quite interesting.
Basically this is what happened over the year -
Sold $74m of investments and bought $53m
Received $7m of divies and interest
So net ‘trading activity’ was a net income of $28m
Cash expenses were $5m (mainly to Fisher HQ)
Paid out $23m in cash as divies (another $13m paid by DRP) and spent best part of $1m buying their own shares
So that’s the Kingfish money go round
And at the end of the year the investment portfolio was $453m which was the same as the beginning of year ….even though they recorded a change in fair value of $16m
Can’t help thinking that The Style Council were very perceptive -
Watch your money-go-round; watch your money-go-round
But I just can't help being cynical
Watch your money-go-round; watch your money-go-round
Do like I say, make me wonderful
