The latest announcement is out from Australian Foundation Investment Co. Ltd. ( (AU:AFI) ).

The portfolio benefited from gains in Financials, Information Technology and Resources during a volatile month for the S&P/ASX 200, while weakness in Healthcare weighed on performance, and the top 25 holdings now account for 80.8% of portfolio value, underscoring AFIC’s concentrated exposure to major Australian blue chips across banks, materials and industrials.
