*Returns are pre-tax, include franking credits, and assume dividends are reinvested. The SPAX2F0 is simply the total return of the S&P ASX200 Accumulation Index adjusted to include any franking credits received. N.B. I do not account for cash in the portfolio. The net result is that my returns are somewhat overstated (though I am nearly always close to fully invested).

In October, I added two new names to the portfolio. The first, Yotai Refractories (TYO:5357), is a statistically cheap Japanese stock which is also held by Michael Burry's Scion Asset Management. The second is a company in Singapore which I won't disclose as I may purchase more shares.

There was very little movement otherwise. Some of my Australian holdings reported their full-year results, and the news was overwhelmingly positive. Many of the stocks I hold are exceptionally cheap at current prices, which puts me in good stead for the coming months.
