"SCAF declined -1.8% in June, underperforming the broader Australian index, but continues to back active development catalysts across core holdings like QPM Energy and Carbon Conscious Investments ahead of the upcoming reporting season."
Executive Summary
SCAF finished June 2025 down -1.8%, lagging the S&P/ASX 200 Accumulation index which rose 1.4%. Positive performance contributions from COG, BCI, and KAR were offset by declines in FWD, SXL, IDT, and QPM. Key developments included Carbon Conscious Investments Ltd selling premium carbon credits at $54/unit, and QPM raising capital via a placement—which SCAF participated in—to fund its Isaac Power Station. Karoon Energy expanded its footprint in Brazil's Santos Basin. The fund remains 97% invested heading into the FY25 reporting season.
