Australian Foundation Investment Co. Ltd. ( (AU:AFI) ) has shared an update.

AFIC reported a decrease in its net tangible asset (NTA) backing per share for September 2025, with before-tax NTA at $8.14 and after-tax NTA at $6.82, reflecting a decline from the previous month. The company’s portfolio performance was impacted by a negative return of 0.8% in the S&P/ASX 200 Accumulation Index for September, driven by significant declines in the energy, healthcare, and consumer staples sectors. However, the materials sector saw a strong performance, buoyed by a rally in gold prices. AFIC’s top 25 investments, which make up 78.6% of its portfolio, include major holdings in companies like BHP, Commonwealth Bank of Australia, and National Australia Bank.
