June was dominated by capital markets activity, not operations: bond taps, bookbuilds and DRIP elections across Fortress, Growthpoint, Hyprop, Sirius and Dipula. Funding conditions easing; issuers pricing at record-tight margins.
The offshore tilt hardened with Vukile (66% Iberian), Burstone, Hyprop and Sirius all leaning on European earnings, while SA-only counters stayed defensive. Rand-hedge repositioning is now structural, not tactical.
Consolidation and exit pressure building, with Balwin, MAS/PKMI, and Schroder wind-down signal that persistent NAV discounts are forcing corporate action rather than patience.
