Tax-Loss Selling in Australia – Brief Historical Analysis And A Trade Basket

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 last year shows.
  • The general gist of the idea is that retail investors in Australia will take gains on things which run up in price, or get taken over, then look for losses.
  • Below I present a study using data from 2012-2022 of how a basket portfolio trade might work.

Coal India Follow-On – Recent Momentum Is Strong but past Deals Haven’t Done Much

By Sumeet Singh

  • The Government of India is looking to raise up to US$540m via selling around 3% of Coal India.
  • This will be the third divestment by the Government since 2015 and the past two deals didn’t end up doing much.
  • In this note, we will talk about the placement and run the deal through our ECM framework.

Amman Mineral Internasional IPO: The Investment Case

By Arun George

  • Amman Mineral Internasional (1416286D IJ), an Indonesian copper-gold producer, has launched an IDX IPO to raise US$860 million. Bookbuilding runs from 31 May to 16 June.
  • Amman’s Batu Hijau mine when combined with the Elang project has the fifth largest copper equivalent reserves in the world, according to Wood Mackenzie.
  • The key elements of the investment case rest on world-class reserves, credible development plans, solid top-line growth, high profitability, leading cost competitiveness and cash generation.
