Reviewed interim results for the six months ended 31 March 2011
Assets under management of R231 billion
Diluted headline earnings per share of 81.7 cents
Interim dividend per share of 80 cents
Coronation Fund Managers produced another set of exceptional results for the
six months to 31 March 2011. The FTSE/JSE All Share Index closed the period
just 3% off its May 2008 peak, however this masks high levels of volatility
driven by significant global events in the first quarter of 2011. The local
market returned 10.7% for the six-month period, while the MSCI World and MSCI
Emerging Markets Indices returned 14.4% and 9.6% (in dollar terms)
respectively. During this time Coronation produced outstanding investment
performance across all client portfolios.

Results
Revenue has increased by 32% to R865 million. This has resulted in a 32%
increase in profit for the period to R299 million, and growth in diluted
headline earnings per share of 26% to 81.7 cents (March 2010: 64.8 cents).
Assets under management
Strong inflows, particularly to the retail business, excellent stock picking
and asset allocation, combined with a positive market environment to increase
assets under management to R231 billion (September 2010: R203 billion -
restated).
Long-term performance
Our philosophy of investing with a long time horizon continued to generate
alpha that resulted in strong investment returns for all our clients. This
consistency of performance was recognised in our being named Best Large Fund
House at the FM/Morningstar South Africa Awards.
- Both our domestic balanced and global balanced portfolios ranked 1st over
three years and 2nd over five years in the Alexander Forbes SA and Global
Large Manager Watch Surveys respectively to end March 2011. Likewise, our
flagship multi-asset Coronation Balanced Plus Fund was the no.'1 balanced
unit trust fund in the country for the five-year period to end March, ranked
by Morningstar. The fund has outperformed its market-related benchmark by
2.4% per annum since inception in April 1996.
- For individual investors seeking long-term capital growth, our concentrated
equity fund, Coronation Top 20 has outperformed its market benchmark by an
impressive 7% per annum since inception in October 2000. Our flagship
absolute fund, Coronation Capital Plus continued to deliver on its dual
objective of income and growth, outperforming inflation by an annualised 8.6%
since inception in July 2001. Similarly, our lower risk options produced
strong returns: Coronation Balanced Defensive was the no.'1 conservative fund
in the country for the year to end March 2011, and our flagship fixed
interest fund, Coronation Strategic Income has beaten cash by 2.4% per annum
since inception in July 2001.
International
Global markets corrected in March 2011, which created the opportunity to add
to positions where we see value. Since inception in July 2000, the
institutional portfolio Coronation Global Equity Fund of Funds has
outperformed the MSCI World Index by 2.3% per annum net of all fees. The
Coronation Global Capital Plus Fund has outperformed its global cash
benchmark by 9.3% per annum gross of all fees since inception in September
2009.
Within our specialist units, the Coronation Global Emerging Markets Fund
ranked no.'2 in its peer group of 42 funds to end March 2011. Launched almost
three years ago in July 2008, the fund has outperformed the MSCI Emerging
Markets Index by 7.8% per annum gross of all fees. Despite the heightened
challenges inherent in Africa, our Africa portfolios attracted great interest
from investors over the period and continue to build a strong performance
track record. Since inception in October 2008, the Coronation Africa
Frontiers Fund has outperformed the FTSE/JSE Africa Top 30 Ex SA Index by
30.1% per annum gross of all fees.
Interim cash dividend
We continue to reward shareholders through regular and significant
distributions of free cash flow generated. We endeavour to distribute at
least 75% of after-tax cash profit. Taking into account projected cash
requirements, we have increased the interim dividend to 80 cents per share
for the period.
In compliance with the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited, the
following dates are applicable:
Last day to trade: Friday, 3 June 2011
Shares trade ex dividend: Monday, 6 June 2011
Record date: Friday, 10 June 2011
Payment date: Monday, 13 June 2011
Share certificates may not be dematerialised or rematerialised between
Monday, 6 June 2011, and Friday, 10 June 2011, both dates inclusive.
Prospects
Our philosophy of investing for the long term supports the sustainability of
our business through the investment cycle. The past 18 months have been
exceptional for our business and we therefore caution against future revenue
growth expectations. The investment environment is likely to remain
challenging in the foreseeable future, but we believe the best way of adding
value to all our stakeholders is by staying singularly focused.
