"SCAF delivered a strong 9.3% return in September 2025 while launching a major activist offensive against SXL's proposed merger with SWM."
Executive Summary
Sandon Capital Activist Fund (SCAF) generated a 9.3% return in September 2025, driven by strong performances from COG Financial Services, Fleetwood, and BCI Minerals. SCAF is actively campaigning against Southern Cross Media Group's (SXL) proposed acquisition of Seven West Media (SWM), characterizing the transaction as a 'nil-premium reverse takeover' that sidesteps shareholder approval via an ASX loophole. SCAF has petitioned the Takeovers Panel and requisitioned a shareholder vote for the upcoming AGM on 22 November.
