Ragnar Metals has identified at least five interpreted mineralised shoots at its Harnäs gold project in Sweden, but the exploration-led company ended FY2026 with only $233,220 in cash. The annual report also restates FY2025 after previously omitted Kaiser Reef options were recognised at $779,288.

Magnetite Mines has warned that its existing cash is insufficient to fund planned activities for the next 12 months, while auditors highlighted a material uncertainty over the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ASX-listed miner is cutting costs and reshaping Razorback around a lower-capital development pathway.

Ausbil Global SmallCap Fund reported A$19.38 million in total comprehensive income for the year ended 30 June 2026, up from A$14.67 million. Net assets rose to A$133.75 million while the fund’s management fee was reduced from 1.20% to 0.90% per annum during the year.

Global X Nasdaq 100 Covered Call Complex ETF reported a sharp improvement in annual profit, helped by a swing to fair-value gains and continued investor applications. The ASX-listed feeder fund paid or accrued $2.731 million in distributions, but the result does not show whether investors achieved a positive total return after unit-price movements.

Global X US Infrastructure Development ETF delivered a sharp rise in annual profit and nearly doubled its asset base, but disclosed that its net asset value has since fallen more than 10%. The filing leaves the size and drivers of that post-year-end decline unspecified.

Lanyon Investment Fund Active ETF (ASX:LNY) reported a sharp turnaround to a $30.3 million operating profit for the year ended 30 June 2026, driven overwhelmingly by gains on listed investments.

VanEck Bitcoin ETF (ASX:VBT) swung to a $193.8 million loss for the year ended 30 June 2026, while net assets fell 25.6% to $217.7 million. The fund remained almost entirely invested in the US-listed HODL ETF, leaving its result heavily exposed to Bitcoin and Australian dollar movements.

Intelligent Investor Ethical Share Fund (ASX: INES) swung from a $9.394 million profit to a $6.448 million loss in the year to 30 June 2026, as unrealised investment losses overwhelmed income.

Intelligent Investor Select Value Share Fund (ASX: IISV) swung from a $10.85 million profit to a $2.99 million loss in the year to 30 June 2026, driven by a sharp reversal in unrealised investment gains. The fund paid or accrued a larger distribution while its net assets declined, as the proposed sale of the Intelligent Investor business remained incomplete.

Global X EURO STOXX 50 ETF delivered a higher annual profit and a sharp increase in net assets as investor applications accelerated. The audited report also highlights the fund’s sizeable exposure to European equities and euro-Australian dollar movements.
