7 WHATS HOT? WHATS NOT? HUB.asx - steaming hot DCL.asx - cooling down DATE CODE COMPANY ANNOUNCEMENT HUB24 experiences growth in Funds under Administration ( FUA ) and is seeing net inflows on its platform. The company recently signed seventeen new distribution agreements and added an additional 31 advisors to the platform. HUB posted its first NPBT during the quarter ended 30 September HUB has gained 25 per cent year-to-date and over 70% in the past 12 months. DomaCom offers retail investors access to the property focused DomaCom Fund via an online crowdfunding investment platform. Wise-owl flagged significant hurdles prior to listing as we believe that the valuation incorporates a significant degree of FUM growth, while a high degree of unallocated free float is likely impacting post listing performance. DCL has lost over 60 per cent since floating on 4 November.

9 LATEST UPDATE FROM WISE-OWL Beach Energy Limited (BPT) Growth Portfolio: CODE COMPANY Beach Energy Limited (BPT) ANNOUNCEMENT Beach Energy Group ("Beach Energy", "the Company"), is an Australian oil and gas company focused on the Cooper/Eromanga basin. During FY16 Beach Energy produced 9.7M barrels of oil equivalent, with 53% being oil and 47% gas and gas liquids. The Company recently completed the merger with Drillsearch Energy Limited, which is now operating as a fully owned subsidiary of Beach Energy, and divested assets in Egypt and Queensland. Beach Energy offers transitional exposure to the domestic oil and gas market. The Company has a strong balance sheet with surplus cash and access to additional capital. Generating free cashflow at the lower end of the commodity cycle, Beach Energy is well positioned to benefit from any cyclical recovery in the oil and gas market which may allow for higher dividend distributions. However commodity price volatility, lumpy earnings and integration risks are primary hurdles. Beach Energy is sensitive to price movements but we believe the valuation is compelling and the risk to reward ratio favourable. We initiate coverage with a 'buy' recommendation.
