Portfolio Commentary
The HM1 portfolio was up 4.3% for the month of April,
marginally underperforming the MSCI World
Accumulation Index (AUD), which was up 5.1%. Since
inception, HM1 has delivered an annualised pre-tax
investment return of 9.4% p.a. As at 30 April, the
current annualised dividend yield is 6.5%, fully
franked.
Several holdings recorded strong moves in April, led
by ACM Research (+31%) alongside gains in
Amazon (+27%) and Steel Dynamics (+27%).
Semiconductor exposure also contributed
positively, with TSMC (+17%) and NVIDIA (+14%) up
for the month (both remaining significant long-
term winners since purchase). BlackLine (-16%)
and DiDi Global (-11%) were the weakest performers
over the period.
With a lot happening in global energy markets, we
spoke with Robert Mullin of Marathon Resource
Advisors, who pitched SLB (SLB.NYSE) at the 2025
Sohn Hearts & Minds Conference. The stock is now
up 55% since November. SLB is a global oilfield
services and technology company supporting
