“Contributors The largest contributors during the quarter were our resource holdings. Pan African Resources reported full year earnings, with revenue doubling and headline earnings per share tripling, driven by strong production growth and a robust gold price. The company now has a net cash balance sheet and it is returning capital to shareholders via dividends and a recently announced share buyback, and remains highly free cash flow generative even at current gold prices. Other contributors in the quarter included our holdings in Glencore, Valterra and Northam, all of which released strong earnings, benefitting from higher resource prices. Our core position in Southern Sun also traded up during the quarter.”
