Tax-Loss Selling in Australia 2024 – The May Basket (April Basket +2.3 to +6.3% Rtn)

By Travis Lundy

  • I am not a tax advisor and I do not play one on TV but it is a subject of interest in Australia, as an AFR article from June 2022 shows.
  • The general gist: retail investors in Australia will take gains on stocks which run up in price, or get taken over, then look for losses to offset.
  • The portfolio worked well in April. Now we let April ride and add the May basket.

Madison Dearborn Takes APM Back Into The Fold

By David Blennerhassett

  • APM Human Services (APM AU) and US PE-outfit Madison Dearborn Partners, holding ~30%, have entered a Scheme at A$1.45/share, in cash.
  • That’s a 74.7% premium to undisturbed; and a $0.05/share increase over Madison Dearborn’s April 8th A$1.40/share NBIO, a price the Independent Board Committee (IBC) previously considered disappointing.
  • A scrip option is afforded, and Executive Chair, Megan Wynne and CEO, Michael Anghie will take up that option if the Scheme is implemented. The IBC is supportive.
