The latest announcement is out from Plato Income Maximiser Ltd. ( (AU:PL8) ).
Plato Income Maximiser reported that as at 31 March 2026 its portfolio has delivered a total return of 9.8% per annum after fees since inception, with income of 7.5% including franking credits, slightly outperforming its benchmark’s 9.7% return and 5.2% yield. The company’s shares traded at $1.275 with a market capitalisation of $955 million and a pre-tax NTA of $1.12, and its top holdings remain concentrated in major Australian blue chips such as BHP, Commonwealth Bank, NAB and Telstra.
The board has declared three fully franked monthly dividends of $0.0055 per share for April, May and June 2026, continuing the payout level from the March quarter. The update noted that March was a weak month for Australian equities amid geopolitical tensions driving oil up 51%, higher bond yields and an RBA rate hike, with PL8’s overweight positions in energy and financial names aiding performance while gold and select discretionary exposures detracted, underscoring its active positioning to seek superior income despite heightened market volatility.
